Guinean Holidays

This is a list of all the public holidays, some of which I have no idea what they are :New Year's Day, Id al-Fitr, Easter, Labor Day (May 1), Anniversary of Women's Revolt (Aug 27), Mouloud, Referendum Day, Independence Day, All Saints' Day, Day of 1970 Invasion (Nov 22), Christmas. The Anniversary of Women's Revolt is a day that is dedicated to the day when Guinean women rioted for their rights and won them. Referendum Day is the day people celebrate their ability to freely vote for their leaders.  Day of the 1970's Invasion might be the day that Guinea acquired its freedom.
