Click on more under holidays.
Pick the Country you need.
In Mozilla right click and open in new Window.
Click ok on the not supported protocal, i.e. webcal window.
Replace webcal in the navigation bar with http
Download
Install.

BTW. For a test create a new calendar in Evolution and import there
first, if it works import into the main calendar. This way if you have
to get rid of calendar data you can just delete the calendar and start
over, without ever risking your main calendar, or doing some major
cleanup.

Check the file you imported in an editor for the datum. Maybe it's not
what you think it is, or just a plain wrong calendar, always check
before you import into your main calendar, guess you know that by now.
