I'm not interested in occasions really. Just public holidays.

No, it's not. Using an example I can confirm, Iranian holidays in 2005,
it gives wrong dates for 10 of the holidays and misses 9 others.

Tried that, but it unfortunately doesn't give much that is not already
in Reingold and Dershowitz's Calendrical Calculations: The Millenium
Edition. The book is mostly about calendars, possibly the best existing
source on them, but it does not contain much useful information about
public holidays.
