About these countdowns
All countdowns run in your own time zone, detected automatically by your browser, and tick live to the second. Fixed-date holidays like Christmas and Halloween are calculated for the current year; moving holidays use their official dates: Easter follows the Western church calendar, Chinese New Year the lunar calendar, and Diwali the Hindu calendar.
Islamic holidays such as Ramadan and Eid depend on the sighting of the new moon, so the dates shown are the expected dates and may move by a day in your country.
To count down to your own event, fill in the form above. The page address changes to a unique link you can share – anyone who opens it sees the same countdown converted to their own time.
