Wednesday, 7 Jan 2026 · Romania · Nationwide · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls midweek on a Wednesday. It splits the week rather than extending the weekend, so bridging costs two days of leave either side.
What the day is for
7 January follows Epiphany and honours St John, the patron of everyone named Ion, Ioana or Ionuț — which in Romania is a large share of the population, so it works as a mass name-day.
Do shops and banks close?
Public holiday; banks and offices closed, extending the New Year break.
Getting around
Holiday services, with returning travel heavy at the end of the run.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
