About this holiday

Celebrated on December 26th (or potentially December 27th or 28th due to timing), Boxing Day is a holiday known locally as Offering Day. Originally from the UK, it is observed in Ghana as part of the broader Christmas festivities and is sometimes concurrent with Saint Stephen's Day.
