<holidayfyi-glossary slug="quarter-day"></holidayfyi-glossary>One of four days traditionally marking the quarters of the year in the British Isles, historically used for settling rents and paying wages: Lady Day (25 March), Midsummer Day (24 June), Michaelmas (29 September), and Christmas Day (25 December) in England. Quarter days often coincide with or are adjacent to religious feasts and seasonal turning points, reflecting the agrarian and ecclesiastical origins of the annual calendar, and Scotland maintains its own distinct set of quarter days — Candlemas, Whitsunday, Lammas, and Martinmas.
