In particular, these holidays often create a year -long weekend through the government’s “Kati Bersma” (Joint Holiday) Policy. A Redditor notes, reflecting the intensive national value for communal rearing, “Every major religion gets a national holiday … so everyone can be aware of the major celebrations of each religion.” This broader program highlights the pluralistic spirit of Indonesia, combining religious, historical, and cultural observation in an integrated national calendar.
