Chinggis Khaan’s Birthday / Mongolia National Pride Day

In Mongolia, the celebration of Chinggis Khaan's (Genghis Khan's) birthday, referred to as National Pride Day, is not fixed on November 16th but rather changes each year. The date is determined by the Mongolian lunar calendar and falls on the first day of the first winter month. This is why news reports from different years may mention a different Gregorian date for the holiday.
