Vatican City public holidays 2027

JSON · Add to calendar

1. Fri, 01 Jan 2027Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

   Vatican City’s supplied calendar lists the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on 1 January 2027. In the Roman Catholic calendar, this feast honors Mary in her role as the mother of Jesus and falls on the eighth day of Christmastide. The listing supports treating it as a Vatican calendar observance, but the material provided does not independently confirm whether all services or institutions close, or whether any exceptions apply. Its religious meaning is distinct from the civil New Year observance that shares the date.

2. Wed, 06 Jan 2027Epiphany

   The supplied Vatican calendar lists Epiphany, or Epifania del Signore, on 6 January 2027. Epiphany is a Christian feast in the Christmas season; the calendar entry itself establishes the listed date and public classification, not the scope of any closure. The attached context excerpt only says that “Epiphany” may refer to different things, so it does not verify the feast’s particular history or Vatican arrangements. This entry is therefore best understood as a calendar-listed religious observance, with practical details left open.

3. Thu, 11 Feb 2027Anniversary of the foundation of Vatican City

   The Vatican calendar lists 11 February 2027 as the anniversary of the foundation of Vatican City. The entry identifies it as a public holiday, but the supplied material does not explain the historical event being commemorated or specify what institutions observe a closure. The date also appears alongside religious feasts in the calendar, but this entry is framed as a civic anniversary. For a fuller account of its origin and current official status, a Vatican State source would be more suitable than assuming details from the calendar label alone.

4. Fri, 19 Mar 2027Saint Joseph

   Vatican City’s calendar lists Saint Joseph on 19 March 2027. The supplied context describes Joseph as Mary’s husband and Jesus’ legal father, and notes his veneration in the Catholic Church. The feast is therefore a religious observance, rather than a date whose significance is established here through a civic history. The calendar classifies it as public, but the sources provided do not state which workplaces or institutions close, or whether the observance has any local variations in Vatican City.

5. Thu, 25 Mar 2027Maundy Thursday

   Maundy Thursday, called Giovedì santo in the supplied calendar, falls on 25 March 2027 and is listed as a Vatican public holiday. The supplied context describes it as part of Holy Week and the beginning of the Paschal Triduum, commemorating Jesus’ Last Supper with the apostles and the washing of feet. Those religious meanings explain the observance, but the calendar and context do not establish which State or Church services change their hours. The listing supports the holiday’s inclusion, not a claim of universal closure.

6. Fri, 26 Mar 2027Good Friday

   Good Friday is listed in the Vatican calendar for 26 March 2027. The supplied context describes it as a solemn Christian day commemorating Jesus’ crucifixion and death, observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum. This religious context helps explain the date’s significance in the Vatican calendar. The materials provided do not say which offices or services suspend operations, so the public-holiday classification should not be taken as evidence that every institution follows the same schedule.

7. Sat, 27 Mar 2027Easter Saturday

   The supplied calendar lists Easter Saturday, Sabato di Pasqua, as a public holiday on 27 March 2027, one day before its Easter Sunday entry. However, the attached context describes “Easter Saturday” as the Saturday of Easter Week, which follows Easter Sunday; it does not explain the date listed here. The entry may be referring to Holy Saturday, the day before Easter in the Western Christian calendar, but that identification is not verified by the supplied context. The precise intended observance and any local arrangements remain uncertain.

8. Sun, 28 Mar 2027Easter Sunday

   The Vatican calendar lists Easter Sunday on 28 March 2027. The supplied context describes Easter as the Christian celebration commemorating Jesus’ resurrection, and as the culmination of the Passion observances that include Holy Week. Easter is a movable feast, so its date changes from year to year; the calendar supplies the date for this particular year. The listing supports its status as a Vatican calendar holiday, but the supplied sources do not detail service schedules, closures or how the day is observed by individuals.

9. Mon, 29 Mar 2027Easter Monday

   Easter Monday, Lunedì di Pasqua, is listed in the Vatican calendar for 29 March 2027, the day after Easter Sunday. The supplied context places it within Eastertide and describes it as the second day of the Easter Octave in Western Christianity. That background supports its religious connection to Easter, while the calendar supplies the specific date and public classification for Vatican City. Neither source states what facilities close or whether schedules differ between State and Church institutions, so those details should not be inferred.

10. Tue, 30 Mar 2027Easter Tuesday

    The supplied Vatican calendar lists Easter Tuesday, Martedì di Pasqua, on 30 March 2027. The attached context describes it as the third day of Eastertide and the third day of the Easter Octave in the Western Christian liturgical calendar. This provides a religious explanation for the name, while the calendar establishes the listed date and public classification. The sources do not give details about which Vatican offices or services observe a closure, so the listing should not be read as proof of a uniform schedule.

11. Sat, 01 May 2027Saint Joseph the Worker

    The Vatican calendar lists Saint Joseph the Worker, San Giuseppe lavoratore, on 1 May 2027. This name refers to a distinct Catholic observance from the 19 March feast of Saint Joseph discussed in the attached context excerpt. The excerpt therefore cannot verify the history or details of the May observance. The calendar supports the date and public classification, but the supplied material does not independently confirm the observance’s historical background or explain what closures apply in Vatican City.

12. Sat, 08 May 2027Anniversary of the election of Pope Leo XIV

    The supplied Vatican calendar identifies 8 May 2027 as the anniversary of the election of Pope Leo XIV and classifies it as a public holiday. The entry provides the observance’s name and date, but no context source is supplied to explain its history or establish its practical significance for Vatican institutions. The calendar listing is evidence that this date is included in the supplied holiday record; it does not show whether all workplaces close or whether special services are held. Further official confirmation would clarify those points.

13. Tue, 29 Jun 2027Saints Peter and Paul

    The Vatican calendar lists Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June 2027. The supplied context explains that the feast honors the martyrdom of the two apostles in Rome and is observed liturgically on this date. This connection to Rome gives the feast particular religious relevance to the city, although the provided sources do not describe any civic ceremonies or closure schedules. The entry establishes the date and public classification in the supplied calendar; further official information would be needed to confirm practical arrangements.

14. Sat, 14 Aug 2027Vigil of the Assumption

    The supplied calendar lists the Vigil of the Assumption, Vigilia dell'Assunzione di Maria in Cielo, on 14 August 2027 as a public holiday. It places the entry immediately before Assumption Day on 15 August. No context source is supplied to explain how the vigil is marked in Vatican City or whether it has a separate liturgical or administrative status beyond the calendar listing. The date and label can be reported from the record, while claims about particular ceremonies or closures would need official confirmation.

15. Sun, 15 Aug 2027Assumption Day

    Assumption Day, Assunzione di Maria in Cielo, is listed in the Vatican calendar for 15 August 2027. The supplied context describes the Catholic teaching that Mary was taken body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life, and identifies 15 August as the feast day. This explains the religious significance of the observance. The calendar calls it a public holiday, but the sources provided do not detail which services close or how the day is observed across Vatican institutions.

16. Mon, 16 Aug 2027Saint Stephen of Hungary

    The supplied calendar lists Saint Stephen of Hungary, Santo Stefano d'Ungheria, on 16 August 2027 and classifies it as a public holiday. No context source is provided to explain the observance, its connection to Vatican City, or how it differs from other Saint Stephen feast days. The entry supports reporting the name and date as listed, but does not independently establish the history or practical reach of the holiday. An official Vatican or Holy See calendar would help verify its local recognition and any service changes.

17. Wed, 08 Sep 2027Nativity of Mary

    The Vatican calendar lists the Nativity of Mary, Festa della natività della madonna, on 8 September 2027. The supplied context identifies it as a Christian feast celebrating the birth of Mary, the mother of Jesus. It also notes that the modern biblical canon does not record her birth, so the feast’s subject is a tradition of Christian devotion rather than a date established by that canon. The calendar records the day as public, but the sources do not describe local closures or particular Vatican observances.

18. Fri, 17 Sep 2027Saint Robert Bellarmine's Day

    The supplied calendar lists Saint Robert Bellarmine’s Day on 17 September 2027 and gives the local name Onomastico del Santo Padre, meaning the Holy Father’s name day. No context source is supplied to verify the connection between the saint and the Pope, explain the observance’s history, or clarify what public-holiday status entails in Vatican City. The listing supports the date and wording as recorded, but claims about ceremonies, closures or wider recognition require an official source. An authoritative Vatican calendar could resolve these questions.

19. Mon, 01 Nov 2027All Saints’ Day

    All Saints’ Day, Tutti i santi or Ognissanti, is listed in the Vatican calendar for 1 November 2027. The supplied context describes it as a Christian holy day honoring all the saints of the Church and identifies 1 November as the Western observance. This explains the religious purpose behind the date, without establishing how the day is marked in Vatican City specifically. The calendar lists it as public, but does not provide details about closures, cemetery customs or individual observance.

20. Tue, 02 Nov 2027All Souls’ Day

    The Vatican calendar lists All Souls’ Day, Giorno dei morti, on 2 November 2027. The supplied context describes the day as a Christian observance of prayer and remembrance for the faithful departed, following All Saints’ Day in the Western calendar. That religious context explains the observance’s place in the calendar. The listing classifies the date as a public holiday, but the supplied sources do not confirm particular Vatican services, cemetery practices or the extent of any closures.

21. Wed, 08 Dec 2027Immaculate Conception

    The Immaculate Conception, Immacolata Concezione, is listed in the Vatican calendar for 8 December 2027. The supplied context explains that the Catholic doctrine concerns Mary being free from original sin from the moment of her conception; it is not a reference to the conception of Jesus. The excerpt also gives 8 December as the feast day. The calendar classifies it as a public holiday, but the supplied sources do not establish which institutions close or what specific Vatican services take place.

22. Fri, 24 Dec 2027Christmas Eve

    Christmas Eve, Vigilia di Natale, is listed in the Vatican calendar for 24 December 2027. The supplied context describes it as the day or evening before Christmas, the Christian celebration of Jesus’ birth, and notes that some Christian observances begin on the evening before the feast. This provides religious context for the date, but does not verify which Vatican institutions close or what services are scheduled. The calendar’s public classification supports including the date, while practical arrangements remain unspecified.

23. Sat, 25 Dec 2027Christmas Day

    The supplied Vatican calendar lists Christmas Day, Natale, on 25 December 2027 as a public holiday. The context excerpt attached to this entry is about Christmas in New Zealand, so its descriptions of local customs and statutory arrangements do not apply as evidence about Vatican City. The date and public classification can be reported from the calendar, but the provided material does not describe Vatican-specific services, closures or traditions. An official Vatican source would be needed for those local details.

24. Sun, 26 Dec 2027New Year's Eve

    The supplied calendar labels 26 December 2027 as New Year’s Eve, but this conflicts with the attached context, which identifies Gregorian New Year’s Eve as 31 December. The calendar also lists Saint Stephen’s Day separately on 26 December. These records do not establish a Vatican observance of New Year’s Eve on the 26th; the date may reflect a data or naming error, or a separate local listing that needs confirmation. The entry should not be treated as a verified holiday under this name without checking an authoritative calendar.

25. Sun, 26 Dec 2027Saint Stephen's Day

    Saint Stephen’s Day, Santo Stefano, is listed in the Vatican calendar on 26 December 2027. The supplied context identifies Stephen as the first Christian martyr and gives 26 December as the Western Christian observance, the day after Christmas. This supports the feast’s religious context and explains its position in the calendar. The listing classifies it as public, but the material provided does not detail Vatican-specific ceremonies, service schedules or the extent of closures.

26. Mon, 27 Dec 2027Saint John the Evangelist

    The supplied Vatican calendar lists Saint John the Evangelist, San Giovanni Evangelista, on 27 December 2027 as a public holiday. No context source is provided to explain the feast’s history or how it is observed in Vatican City. The record supports the listed name, date and classification, but it does not independently establish the observance’s local significance or the effect on State and Church services. An official calendar or notice would be needed to confirm whether the holiday involves closures or any particular arrangements.
