[question] how to configure advent? #132

Closed udo1toni closed 4 years ago

udo1toni commented 4 years ago

I'm wondiring how to write the correct configuration for advent: Fourth Sunday before December, 25. Third Sunday before December, 25. Second Sunday before December, 25. First Sunday before December, 25.

Any hints?

In my opinion Jollyday is for tracking off-work holidays. German advents aren't holidays and they are always on sunday. Thus they are off-work by definition.

That's probably also the reason why easter-sunday is not defined as holiday? Even it's holiday and calculated as this day is required as reference for many other but it's always a sunday.

Nevertheless this action can be used to define othere and question is about defining personal special day, like a birthday etc. Hopefully someone can advise how to go back from a known day to first, sencond, etc sunday before this known date?

Hi all, I looked though many of the holiday Examples as well as through embedded Parser Files. Finally I made it => FixedWeekdayRelativeToFixed <= this is the right parser for this ;-)
