According to the Public Holiday Act, any official holiday that falls on a Sunday will be automatically carried over to the next day, i.e., Monday.
However, if it falls on a Saturday, no provisions will be made for it.
In this case, many believe Cyril declared 15 December a holiday, in lieu of the day after.
