The Fixed Date holiday recurrence rule type is for holidays based on a fixed date of either the Gregorian calendar or the Orthodox calendar.
➢Fixed date recurrence rules are based on a fixed date, but they do not necessarily always occur on the same date.
Fixed Date |
The fixed date holidays structure is a month-day pair based on a fixed date of either the Gregorian calendar or the Orthodox calendar.
 Christmas Day
 Orthodox Christmas |
Weekday before/after Fixed Date |
Some of the fixed date holidays are based on a given number of weekdays before or after a fixed date (making their calculated dates based on a fixed date, but not fixed).

Based on a week number |
Though week numbers are never used in worldwide public holidays, it is possible to construct a recurring holiday rule that is based on the weekday of a given week number, using the rule:
((7*(w-1))+(D-1)-3) days after the Thursday on or after January 1
where W is the week number and D is the weekday (running from 1-7 for Monday to Sunday). For more details, see the detailed example here. |
