Observance Rules

The specific rules a scientific society, institution or tradition sets for how a science related observance is kept: what is required, what is customary, and who takes part in it. An observance rule entry is narrower than the holiday it belongs to, spelling out the letter of the custom rather than its meaning, and it records where different societies or institutions mark the same day in noticeably different ways.
