St Andrews Day falls on November 30, according to many Christian - TopicsExpress

St Andrews Day falls on November 30, according to many Christian churches. St Andrews Day is a bank holiday in Scotland. However, the bank holiday falls on Monday, December 1 or 2 if November 30 is a Saturday or Sunday.

The first St Andrews Day bank holiday was observed on November 30, 2007. The Scottish government used this as an opportunity to support celebrations of Scottish culture all over the world. The Scottish flag, or Saltire, is flown on public buildings in Scotland on St Andrews Day. In the rest of the United Kingdom, the British Union Flag is flown. Some people have a day off work in Scotland. In Edinburgh, there is a week of celebrations, concentrating on musical entertainment and traditional ceilidh dancing. A ceilidh is a social event with couples dancing in circles or sets (groups of eight people). In Glasgow...
