Romania Calendar

Romania uses Eastern European Time (UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer). Its 17 legal public holidays combine Orthodox Christian feasts — with Easter and Pentecost dated by the Orthodox calendar — and national anniversaries such as Union Day (24 January) and Great Union Day (1 December).

Epiphany (6 January) and the Synaxis of St John the Baptist (7 January) became public holidays in 2024. When Whit Monday coincides with Children's Day (1 June), as in 2026, the two share the same day. Holidays falling on a weekend are not moved to a weekday.
