Czech Holidays
Lightweight .NET library for generating Czech public holidays for any calendar year without external APIs or stored year tables.
The library distinguishes between:
- Fixed holidays – same date every year
- Movable holidays – derived from Easter (Good Friday, Easter Monday)
Movable holidays are calculated algorithmically from Easter Sunday using the Meeus/Jones/Butcher algorithm.
