Romania is a very religious country. Nearly 90 percent of all the people are from the Eastern Orthodox Christian religion. As a result, many holidays in the country are religious and culture based. Some holidays such as the Orthodox Easter go for three days where workers get to stay home and celebrate.

The country has 20 holidays per year. The Romania Labor code regulates the holidays. The law states that workers will only be entitled to eight official holidays per year. It acknowledges the religious observances but does not warrant time off to workers. One can negotiate with their employers requesting time off though it might not be paid.

The country gets involved in holiday affairs, and on this day most business, banks, government offices will be closed. The public system may also be congested as families take their families out for fun. The road traffic, however, is reduced as compared to other work days.

The holidays in Romania are influenced and observed by the religious organization, the culture of the community, democracy and public affairs such as social conflict. As a result, though most of the holidays are religious, there are those that differ such as labor and children’s day. Out of these holidays, ten of them are recognized as the unpaid holidays by the government. Other events take place where festival and celebration fill the streets though they are not recognized as holidays.
