The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation or non-sovereign country. This nationhood can be symbolized by the date of independence, of becoming a republic or a significant date for a patron saint or a ruler (birthday, accession, removal, etc.). Often the day is not called "National Day" but serves and can be considered as one. The National Day will often be a national holiday.
国庆节是特定的某个日子,为了庆祝一个国家或非主权国家的诞生或独立。这种国家地位可以用独立日作为象征,表示这天起该国成为共和国,要么以守护神或统治者的重大时间作为国庆日(生日、就职、下台)。这一天通常不称为“国庆日”,但是与国庆日的作用无二。国庆日也通常是国家法定假日。
Many countries have more than one National Day. For example, Pakistan has three National Days, none of which is named the "National Day". This signals the use of a "class" of National Days, that are equally important in the foundation of the nation, and a "class" of less important official public holidays.
许多国家不止一个国庆节。例如,巴基斯坦有三个国庆节,但是没有一个以“国庆节”命名。这就涉及国庆节的“等级”,在国家建立过程中同等重要同时与却不那么重要的官方公众假日。
Most countries have a fixed date National Day, but some have movable dates. An example is Jamaica, which up to 1997 celebrated its National Day on the first Monday in August. This commemorated independence from the United Kingdom which was attained on Monday, 6 August 1962, the first Monday in August of that year. Israel's Independence Day is not fixed relative to the civil Gregorian calendar, being formally linked to 5 Iyar on the Jewish calendar, but may also be moved to any day between 3 and 6 Iyar in order to avoid preparing for or celebrating either Independence Day or Memorial Day (which immediately precedes Independence Day) on Shabbat; the practical effect of this is that Independence Day may be celebrated any day between 15 April and 15 May. Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the king on 5 December. This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.
