Religious Holidays Information:
Australian holidays are distinct from American ones in that the seasons are opposite. Instead of being in the winter, Christmas is in the summer. Festive feasts invariably raise concerns about Australia's religious heritage.
Australia similarly centers its religious celebrations on Christian festivals that revolve around Easter and Christmas. The Labor Day holiday is a specialty of Australia. Almost every Australian state has selected a different day for it.
Additionally, as befits a nation under the British Crown, celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II's birthday are officially recognized as official events.
It's interesting that some governments ban the sale of alcohol at religious festivals like Good Friday. In some areas, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are observed as half-day holidays. This indicates that the holiday is celebrated from 7 pm to midnight, with the other hours continuing as usual.
