How St. Gallen differs from the Switzerland calculator

St. Gallen's rows add one day to this site's eight-day Swiss baseline: Allerheiligen (All Saints' Day) on 1 November. No baseline day is dropped, so Stephanstag, Easter Monday and Whit Monday stay in the count. Allerheiligen falls on a Sunday in 2026, a Monday in 2027 and a Wednesday in 2028, so it closes a weekday only in 2027 and 2028.
