Er þetta frídagur?
Almennur frídagur um allt land (Ísland): flestir launþegar eiga frí.
Árið 2035 er hann fimmtudagur, sem er virkur dagur.
Dagsetningin breytist frá ári til árs.
Laugardagur og sunnudagur · Almennur frídagur þýðir ekki alltaf að öll fyrirtæki loki. Nauðsynleg þjónusta, verslanir og sumar atvinnugreinar starfa áfram, og reglur um laun eru mismunandi eftir löndum og samningum.
First Day of Summer
The First Day of Summer, Sumardagurinn fyrsti in Icelandic, is a public holiday and flag day in Iceland that marks the start of the summer half of the old Icelandic year. Although snow can still lie on the ground in April, the old Icelandic calendar divided the year into six winter months and six summer months, and the first day of summer is the start of the first summer month, Harpa. Because it always falls on a Thursday, many people take the Friday off for a long weekend.
The day is celebrated with parades, outdoor events and family gatherings in many towns. It is traditional to give children a summer gift, sumargjöf, a custom recorded since the sixteenth century. There is also weather lore: if summer and winter freeze together on the night before, the saying goes, the summer will be a good one.
