Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
30 August honours the first saint canonised in the Americas, patron of Peru and of the national police. Pilgrims drop written petitions into the well in her Lima sanctuary.
Do shops and banks close?
Public holiday; banks and public offices close, retail largely open.
Getting around
Sunday services; central Lima crowded around the sanctuary.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
