When adding Belgian holidays to the calendar, a lot of holidays that are not official are imported, e.g. Epiphany (January 6th), New Year's Eve ( December 31st), ... There are "only" 10 bank holidays in Belgium. 3 are missing (Our Lord's Assumption, Pentecost Monday, Easter Monday); presumably because they are calculated based on when it's Easter (always first Sunday after the first full moon in the spring - link to when it's Easter by the official Belgian Royal Astronomy site: https://www.astro.oma.be/nl/informatie/wetenschappelijke-inlichtingen/wanneer-het-pasen/de-paasdata-van-1583-tot-3000/ ); Our Lord's Assumption is always exactly 39 days after Easter Sunday and Pentecost Monday is always exactly 49 days after Easter Sunday.

The other 7 are:

  • January 1st: New Year's day
  • May 1st: Labor day
  • July 21st: National day
  • August 15th: Assumption (of our Lady)
  • November 1st: All Saints' day
  • November 11th: Armistice day 1918
  • December 25th: Christmas

Please adjust and do better, Microsoft!
