Religious holidays are observed according to the Julian calendar.
When a public holiday falls on a weekend, the following working day turns into an official day off too.
If only one or only two working days are between a public holiday and another day off then the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine usually releases a recommendation to avoid this gap by moving these working days onto a certain Saturday. Usually such recommendations only concern those employees whose weekly days off are Saturday and Sunday.
