                          About Public Holidays in Mozambique

                          Mozambique's Heroes' Day (February 3) honors independence movement figures collectively, while Independence Day (June 25, 1975, from Portugal) followed one of the longer and more violent independence struggles in Southern Africa. Peace and Reconciliation Day (October 4) marks the 1992 accord ending a subsequent 15-year civil war.
