What fo you mean as a bank holiday? It is a religious holiday
Not a holiday in Baden-Württemberg (south Germany) 😭
In Bavaria it is.
We do ALL the religious holidays. And there will be mass somewhere all day tomorrow. I have 3 churchbells in hearing distance and they each ring like 20- 30min at the beginning AND end of each service. Probably starting between 6 and 7am tomorrow morning. There will be absolutely no quiet tomorrow and at the end I’ll have bells ringing in my head.
I know you have it in Bavaria. The calendar at work shows all the public holidays in Germany without saying in which Bundesland it applies.
Can you imagine my boss’ disconcert last week when he was telling everyone the meeting next week is cancelled because of holidays in Germany and I break it to him it is not for us. It is for our colleagues in France and in Poland, but not us :(
Lol, a bank holiday.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Where are you from?
From a place where it is called a state holiday. Or a religious holiday.
Ah, I see.
I usually use bank holidays because that’s how they were always called in companies I worked for. Seems to be a English-speaking thing from another comment.
I guess calling them a religious holiday doesn’t say if companies are closed or not.
That’s why we say state holiday. Actually it should be translated as “state-mandated holiday”.
I updated to public, hopefully it’s clear to everyone now!
