Numerous public holidays are observed by different nations worldwide, each of which reflects the diversity of those nations' cultures, religions, and histories.
Public holidays, sometimes referred to as national holidays, are designated days in the year when businesses are not allowed to operate.

These days honor important historical occurrences, and religious holidays, or follow a specific calendar.

With 28 declared public holidays per year, Cambodia is the country with the most of any country in the world.
