Why the date is what it is
Linked to Easter. The date is counted from Easter Sunday, which is the Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March, so it swings between late March and late April.
In one country the calendar date falls on a weekend and the day off is granted on another day. That is one holiday with a shifted day off, not two holidays, so it is counted once here, on the day actually taken. The methodology page sets out the rule in full.
