Hi @djcrawleravp is there any special rule about the holidays in Bolivia? like, if it lays on a sunday, do you guys get monday off as well ?

TIA (WIP)

[djcrawleravp]

All religious holidays are on the exact date, non religious ones are moved to monday if they are on a sunday :3

Hi, this is a completely voluntary-backed project, so we won't accept any request for specific features.

On the other hand, all contributions are always more than welcome so, if you're interested in python-holidays and / or available to give your support, my suggestion is to implement them yourself, or wait for someone to commit to this task.

Pls start from here for details: https://github.com/dr-prodigy/python-holidays#contributions

Marking this as "help wanted".. Thx!

I'd like to work on this one.

@djcrawleravp one more question. Are regional holidays days off too in those specific regions? For instance, is Chuquisaca Day (May 25) is a day off in the Bolivian department of Chuquisaca?

Hey @kasya! Thank you so much for this!.

Indeed those Holidays are correct, I don't quite understand what (Observed) mean but certainly those days are incorrect

Hey @djcrawleravp ,

I don't quite understand what (Observed) mean but certainly those days are incorrect

Observed holiday in this case is when a holiday falls on Sunday and you get next Monday as a day off (for non-religious holidays). As I understood after your reply on Jul 6 - that's the way in Bolivia. I also googled a bit and it seems that Bolivia does have observed holidays that fall on Sunday. Is that not correct?

[djcrawleravp]

Hi @kasya,

I did my research in here and find out that Sunday holidays are moved to the next day.

In case of "Feriado de Carnaval" is a little bit complex. These are 2 Days (Monday and Tuesday) before "Viernes Santo)

In other words, Your output is correct, I was mistaken :P

[kasya]

@djcrawleravp great, thanks for checking! It is my understanding that these changes should be added to beta with next update.

[djcrawleravp]

Thank you very much @kasya !!!
