Two national holidays converge on the calendar today: Egypt's Revolution Day and Papua New Guinea's Remembrance Day. Both are public holidays observed nationwide in their home countries, marking the full list of holidays worldwide today. There is no long weekend attached to either occasion this year, so the observances stay contained to Egypt and Papua New Guinea rather than extending into surrounding days.

Revolution Day's own Arabic name translates roughly to 'the Revolution of 23 July,' building today's date directly into the holiday's local title rather than using a separate historical name.
