What this value means

2027 EXTENSION: 2027 dates are the statutory calendar carried forward — fixed dates keep their date; Western-Easter feasts computed for Easter Sunday 28 March 2027; Sunday-formula days computed for the 2027 calendar. Mother's Day = second Sunday of May (9 May in 2027). SUBSTITUTION (quoted from the law): only 4 May, the closing day of the General Latvian Song and Dance Festival, and 18 November substitute — if they fall on Saturday/Sunday the next working day is a holiday. In 2027 both 4 May (Tue) and 18 Nov (Thu) are weekdays, so no substitute days arise; the rule next fires in 2030. The Song Festival closing-day holiday exists only in festival years (next: 2028).
