Re: New Calendars

Hi Mike,

I just had a look at the french calendar you implemented, and I don't think it is correct. 
There is no such thing as Good Friday or Boxing day in France (They actually exists, but only in
Alsace-Lorraine). Furthermore, when a holiday falls on a week end, it doesn't get moved to a Monday or a Tuesday.
Finally it misses a few holidays, such as Armistice day, All saints day (which you have for the belgium
calendar), or Bastille day. Here is a complete list:

Public Holidays

1 January 	New Year's Day (Jour de l'an)
1 May 	Labor Day (Fête du premier mai)
8 May 	WWII Victory Day (Fête de la Victoire 1945; Fête du huitième mai)
14 July 	Bastille Day (Fête nationale)
15 August 	Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Assomption)
1 November 	All Saints Day (La Toussaint)
11 November 	Armistice Day (Jour d'armistice)
25 December 	Christmas Day (Noël)
26 December 	2nd Day of Christmas (in Alsace and Lorraine only)

Moveable Feasts
Religion: Christian (Western)
Feast 	2007 	2008 	2009 	2010 	2011 	2012
Good Friday*   	6 April 	21 March 	10 April 	2 April 	22 April 	6 April
Easter (Pâques)   	8 April 	23 March 	12 April 	4 April 	24 April 	8 April
Easter Monday   	9 April 	24 March 	13 April 	5 April 	25 April 	9 April
Ascension (l'Ascencion)   	17 May 	1 May 	21 May 	13 May 	2 June 	17 May
Pentecost (la Pentecôte)   	27 May 	11 May 	31 May 	23 May 	12 June 	27 May
Whit Monday   	28 May 	12 May 	1 June 	24 May 	13 June 	28 May

*In Alsace and Lorraine only.

In years when Ascension Day concurs with Victory Day, we mark only the former, thus ignoring the latter.

Metal workers have the holiday of St. Eloi, July 24 (Festival of St. Eloi - French Basque).

Note that when a holiday happens to fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, many French workers may take the Monday or,
respectively, Friday, off as well. This is not official and does not apply to institutions such as banks or
government, but is sufficiently commonplace to cause difficulties doing business on occasion...

Vive La France,
Fabrice

Hi,

I've created 4 additional calendars currently not included in version 0.9.
The formats were taken from existing calendars.

Could these be added to the calendar library?

Thanks,

Mike Craig
