Religion of Specific Business Contacts : Some of the business contacts that you may be trying to meet in Abkhazia, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Abkhazia, and therefore which is not included in the above list of public holidays or bank holidays.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Abkhazia that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.
