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.
Ascension Day commemorates the ascent of Jesus into heaven, forty days after the resurrection, as told in the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospels of Mark and Luke. According to Acts, Jesus appeared to the apostles over a period of forty days and was then taken up into a cloud while they watched. The feast marks the end of the appearances of the risen Jesus and prepares for Pentecost, ten days later. It is one of the few holidays in the Christian calendar that always falls on the same weekday. Many Christians count it among the great feasts.
In Germany the day is also known as Vatertag or Männertag, a men's day when groups go hiking with wagons and drinks, a secular custom that has grown alongside the religious one. In many countries, such as Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Austria and the Nordic states, it is a long-weekend holiday, and in a number of Catholic regions, processions with blessings of the fields and crops are held. Because it is a Thursday, many people take the Friday off as well, producing a four-day weekend. Church services are held in the morning, and in several countries, including Germany, outdoor services and blessing of the fields take place.
