Number of holidays & Weekend Public Hols

There's a claim that Malta has the most PHs in the EU - but Cyprus' wiki lists 18 dates vs Malta's 14. Some regions of Spain also have 16. Probably not an accurate claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.24.65 (talk) 08:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weekend PHs are now added back to the workers pool, so I've added that back in too.

Ok - I note two things:

St. Peter & St. Paul - patron saints

Up to my knowledge only St. Paul is patron saint of Malta, together with St. Agatha, St. Publius & Pope Pius V. St. Peter is only patron saint of Birzebbugia.

Not sure, compiled this by memory. Could be that I pluralized the adjectective: San Pietru u San Pawl Patrun(i)

1st May - is it worker's day or also St. Joseph the Worker?

I'm actually not sure! Different sources give different versions. Some say 1st Sunday of July. Some 1st May. Some put it with St Joseph on March 19, I personally (mistakenly?) know it as March 31 :S

Also, 13 December is NOT St Lucy... it's Republic Day. Please confirm this against this link: http://www.doi.gov.mt/EN/archive/publicholidays/pholidays10.asp --195.158.104.78 (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

renovation 25 July 2017

I have spent a number of days tidying up this article.

Firstly, a few things to note;

Do not place linguistic glosses (things you translate from one language into another) in italics, use single quotes instead.
Write the word 'Saint', rather that 'St.' or 'St'. Reserve the contractions for the names of institutions, churches, etc.
Keep the dates to the dmy format, and do not use ordinals – 'st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th'.
Say that something happens 'in' a city/village rather that 'at' it. It is just more grammatical.

I have completely re-ordered everything, so that it is done strictly by date. This is shown in bold, at the start of a bulleted line. This means that several events which occur on the same day will appear on the same line. This makes it easier to navigate the article.

Ask at my talk page if you are unsure about anything.
