red-letter days


Explanation:
The term "red-letter day" originates with the tradition of marking holy days in a church calendar in red. We use the term here to designate days of special significance in each month -- holidays, astronomical happenings, anniversaries of historic events, and days with memorable folklore attached. Information is drawn from the library of The Old Farmer's Almanac.

Hope it helps

disagree  Charlesp: "days when no business transactions take place" -- not really. It is a day when all the banks are closed, not all offices.
