Commemoration Day is a religious public holiday celebrated nine days after the Orthodox Easter Sunday in Belarus. It is a holiday that moves in relation to the date of Easter. The Orthodox Church in Belarus uses the Julian calendar to set the date for Easter and therefore the date of all Easter days is different here than in the Gregorian calendar of the Western Christian Church.
This year the day is celebrated May 14, 2024.
As this is a public holiday, expect most stores, banks and services to be closed or have reduced opening hours.
