I thought it was interesting ... I found a URL with "National Holidays" from all over the world ...

http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Country...c/Holidays.html

It's just too bad they only gave the dates and not the reasons for the holidays.

Then I looked some more and found ...

http://siakhenn.tripod.com/holiday.html

... and it DID say what the holidays were for. For example, did anyone know that September 8th in Andorra is Our Lady of Meritxell Day?
