Hi @kev-dfs thx. Although I confirm from 2021 on it seems like you mention, I unfortunately couldn't find a clear rule for the previous years: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/chile/2022 Would you please clarify this (or even better, create a PR yourself)?

Thx again, cheers 👍

Hello @dr-prodigy couldn't find a rule either but besides that don't really get why the holiday is set to June 19. The law indicates that the holiday will be the day of the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere every year and that day will always be either June 20 or 21.

Here is an official source of the law, and btw thank u very much for this library it has been prove very helpful to me

I've submitted the following PR -> https://github.com/dr-prodigy/python-holidays/pull/828 The holiday takes place on the same date as the solstice; by calculating the solstice date using the formulas from the book Astronomical Algorithms, we just need to adjust it to the Chile timezone UTC-3. The full list is available here -> https://github.com/pavolgaj/AstroAlgorithms4Python This approach doesn't require any extra dependencies, although if you consider adding https://pypi.org/project/astronomy-engine/ we can get the date using the astronomy-engine.
