            About Public Holidays in Syria

            Syria's calendar was substantially rewritten in late 2025 after the fall of the Assad government: a new Syrian Revolution Day (March 18) commemorates the 2011 uprising, and Liberation Day (December 8) marks the regime's 2024 collapse, while several former-regime commemorations were dropped entirely. Syria also officially recognizes both the Western and Orthodox Easter calendars, and added Newroz, the Kurdish new year, as a public holiday in early 2026 - it shares its March 21 date with the country's longstanding Mother's Day observance.
