It established or retained the following holidays: The same law abolished, by omission, four religious holidays: Epiphany (Adoración de los Santos Reyes, January 6), Carnival (Carnaval, movable), Annunciation (Anunciación del Señor, March 25), and Nativity of the Virgin Mary (Natividad de la Virgen, September 8).
On April 30, 1931, President Carlos Ibáñez del Campo promulgated the Decree Enforceable as Law (Decreto con Fuerza de Ley) 130, marking May 1 (May Day) as a holiday.
[12] In 1987, during a visit by Pope John Paul II, Corpus Christi was reinstated[13] (although the Church continued to observe the holiday on the nearest Sunday[14]).
[16][17][18][19][20] On January 6, 2007, Law 20,148[21] replaced Corpus Christi with Our Lady of Mount Carmel, to be observed on July 16, starting that year.
