Date: March 15
Background: Constitution Day in Belarus commemorates the adoption of the country's constitution on March 15, 1994. The day marks a significant milestone in Belarusian history as it established the legal foundation for the country's governance and the rights of its citizens after gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
History: The current Constitution was adopted via a national referendum and has since undergone amendments, notably in 1996 and 2004, which have altered the balance of power within the government. These changes have been subject to both domestic and international scrutiny.
Traditions: Constitution Day is an official public holiday in Belarus. On this day, government officials often participate in ceremonial events and lay flowers at monuments that are significant to national history. Educational institutions frequently hold lessons and discussions that focus on civic education and constitutional law.
Activities: While there are no elaborate traditional festivities associated with Constitution Day, people often enjoy a day off work as it is a national holiday. Some may use this opportunity to spend time with family or to engage with content related to the nation’s legal foundations. Public speeches or media programming about constitutional themes are common as well.
Public Life: As with many public holidays, government offices, schools, and many businesses are closed on this day. Public transport may run on a reduced schedule due to lower demand.
