It’s Memorial Day here in the US and Pentecost Monday (yet another Christian public holiday in oh so secular Germany) so I will keep this short. Just wanted to share this with you and then head out to the back yard…
I am not sure how long these key chances last, but what an awesome idea!!
And in this, nominally at least, far more religious country, very few people outside of liturgical churches knew that yesterday was Pentecost. I first became aware of Pentecost when I had about a ten-day Pfingstferien during the year I spent in a German school. My family spent it in Austria; no church observance involved. In 1999 Bob and I were hiking along the Italian coast near Genoa during May and encountered a village whose Pentecost celebration was a town fish fry.
At my University, we even had (and still have) a one week Pentecost break!! Town fish fry sounds amazing…
Pentecost Monday – I wish we would celebrate it in Italy. Germany has so many holidays..
Oh so true…
May you enjoy both holidays. I guess that would require at least two different wines to celebrate with.
