Er det en fridag?
En helligdag i hele Svalbard og Jan Mayen: de fleste ansatte har fri.
I 2024 faller den på en mandag, en hverdag.
Datoen endrer seg fra år til år.
lørdag og søndag · En helligdag betyr ikke alltid at alle virksomheter stenger. Samfunnskritiske tjenester, butikker og enkelte bransjer holder åpent, og reglene for lønn varierer mellom land og avtaler.
Pentecost Monday
Pentecost Monday is the second day of the Pentecost festival. In German-speaking countries it is Pfingstmontag, in France Lundi de Pentecôte, in the Netherlands Tweede Pinksterdag, and in English it was traditionally Whit Monday. In Greece and Cyprus the Orthodox Monday is the feast of the Holy Spirit. A second festival day after the great feasts is an old custom in Western Europe, and the Monday has long been used for pilgrimages, fairs and outings.
For most people today it is a spring day off for family excursions, hikes and regional events. In Cyprus it is the day of the Kataklysmos, the Festival of the Flood, when people gather by the sea for water games, music and fairs; the Larnaca Kataklysmos fair is on UNESCO's intangible heritage list. In parts of Germany, traditional Pentecost riding processions and Pfingstritte are held, and many German, Dutch and Belgian families use the long weekend to travel.
