Czech Statehood Day, also commonly called the Feast of St. Wenceslas, has been a national holiday since September 28, 2000.
Duke Wenceslas or Václav in Czech was a very educated man, he could write and read in Latin which was uncommon in his era.
Usually, the public holiday on September 28 is the day of nation-wide celebrations including fireworks, fairs and church masses. It’s also called St. Wenceslas’ Day and it’s this day that marks the anniversary of the death of the patron saint of Czech Republic. The historians aren’t quite sure if the year was 929 or 935 and so the only thing we know for sure is that St. Wenceslas was murdered in Stará Boleslav by the crew of his younger brother, duke Boleslav.
