How Belarus Classifies Holidays
Belarus’s official holiday register distinguishes national holidays, country-wide holidays, religious holidays, commemorative dates, and other observances. Not every official observance is a non-working day. The 2027 schedule above is limited to the nationwide non-working dates. The President of Belarus’ holiday register describes these categories and identifies the recurring dates.
Other recognized dates, including Constitution Day on March 15 and Day of People’s Unity on September 17, are not included in this non-working holiday schedule.
Radunitsa and Easter
Radunitsa is a religious holiday for commemorating the departed. Its date follows the Eastern Orthodox calendar; in 2027, it falls on Tuesday, May 11. Belarus also recognizes Orthodox and Catholic Easter in its holiday register, but those Easter Sundays are not included among the 10 nationwide non-working dates in the 2027 schedule.
Long Weekends in Belarus in 2027
For people following a standard Monday-to-Friday workweek, Women’s Day on Monday, March 8, creates a three-day weekend from March 6 to 8. The May holiday period also provides three consecutive days off, May 9 to 11, around Victory Day and Radunitsa.
The government’s 2027 workday-transfer schedule moves work from Monday, May 10, to Saturday, May 8. May 10 is therefore a scheduled day off under that transfer; it is not a separate public holiday. Check the official 2027 workday-transfer notice and your employer’s calendar for applicable arrangements.
