From a place where it is called a state holiday. Or a religious holiday.

Ah, I see.

I usually use bank holidays because that's how they were always called in companies I worked for. Seems to be a English-speaking thing from another comment.

I guess calling them a religious holiday doesn't say if companies are closed or not.

That's why we say state holiday. Actually it should be translated as "state-mandated holiday".

I updated to public, hopefully it's clear to everyone now!
