lørdag og søndag · En helligdag betyder ikke altid, at alle virksomheder lukker. Samfundsvigtige tjenester, butikker og nogle brancher arbejder videre, og reglerne for løn varierer fra land til land og efter overenskomst og kontrakt.
Pentecost, also called Whit Sunday, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles fifty days after Easter, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. In the account, the apostles gathered in Jerusalem heard a sound like a rushing wind, saw tongues of fire and began to speak in other languages, so that visitors from many countries could understand them. Christians regard the day as the birthday of the church. For Orthodox Christians the same event is celebrated as Pentecost, a major feast with kneeling prayers on the evening of the day.
The name comes from the Greek word for fiftieth. The feast ends the Easter season, and its liturgical colour is red in Catholic and many Protestant churches. Customs vary widely: in parts of Europe, churches and houses are decorated with fresh birch branches, in England Whitsun was long associated with white clothes and church processions, and in Romania the Orthodox Pentecost is a major religious and family holiday. In Romania and other Orthodox countries, the Pentecost Sunday and Monday are national holidays called Rusalii, and churches are decorated with green branches and flowers. In Hungary, the holiday is called Pünkösd, and in Finland Helluntai. Many places also hold spring festivals.
