                          About Public Holidays in Colombia

                          Colombia moves many Catholic feast days that don't fall on a Monday to the following Monday under its "Ley de Puentes" (Bridge Law), so Epiphany, St. Joseph's Day, and the Ascension are usually observed days after their traditional dates. Independence Day (July 20) and the Battle of Boyacá (August 7) both mark the country's path to independence from Spain in the early 1800s.
