Holidays & Observances in Malawi

Malawi is a landlocked country in Southeastern Africa. It is one of the least developed countries in the world, so holidays are not very unified or widely celebrated. Most of the population practices Christianity, with Protestantism being the most common sect. Roman Catholicism is also fairly popular, and there is a small population of Muslims. Christian holidays are probably the most widely celebrated.
