A bank holiday is a British English term for a public holiday. This is an official day that is decided by the
government, when banks, shops, and offices close for the day and a lot of people have a day off work.

Bank holidays are different in Colombia-firstly, they are called “festivos” There are twenty festivos for the whole
country in one year! There can be more festivos in Colombia, depending on the region of Colombia you live in.
This is because different regions have a patron saint in their region, so they have an extra festivo to celebrate
that saint. Most of the festivos in Colombia exist for religious reasons. The Colombian people are mostly Roman
Catholics, and Colombian national festivos usually exist to celebrate a saint that is important to the Catholic
Church.

There are some days that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration
on the 20th July every yer. This is called Día de la Independencia in Spanish. This is just like Bastille Day in
France on the 14th July, or Independence Day, in the United States on the 4th July.
Other important festivos in Colombia are: Labour day (Día del trabajo in Spanish), on the 1st May, and
Columbus Day (Día de la Raza in Spanish) on the 12th October. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that
almost every country on the continent of America celebrates. It is a commemoration of the day that the Italian
sailor, Christpher Columbus, first arrived to the continent, in the year 1492.

Many people criticise this day and say it is not something to celebrate because of the way Columbus and his
team treated native people that were living there.
Festivos are very important for Colombian people. They often travel to spend time with their families and it is an
extra day on the weekend, to relax and forget about work.
