Country context

Suriname’s Staatsbesluit on public rest days names religious high days by tradition, including Holi, Diwali, Eid and Christian occasions. Variable dates require the applicable official announcement.

Coverage and entitlement

A religious classification explains the origin of a date; it does not establish that every observance of that faith is a statutory rest day.

Calendar interpretation

Dates in this calendar carry traditions specific to Suriname Religious Holidays. Observance can involve worship, family gatherings, community events and seasonal customs; practices differ among communities and individuals.

Workplace impact

Do not infer universal office closure from religious classification alone. Use the current official calendar, employment law and applicable contract when planning work.

Banking impact

Bank hours, payment cut-offs and settlement schedules can change on official public holidays. Institution notices remain the operational source.

Schools and institutions

School and academic calendars are issued separately and may contain longer breaks or institution-specific observances.

Travel planning

Transport demand and opening hours can change around major festivals. Confirm official dates and operator schedules, especially for lunar or otherwise movable occasions.
