Whit Monday

Whit Monday, also known as Pentecost Monday, is a public holiday in Liechtenstein celebrated on the day after Pentecost Sunday. It is part of the Christian tradition, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament. In Liechtenstein, a predominantly Catholic country, Whit Monday is a time for religious observance, family gatherings, and community events. Many people attend church services, enjoy outdoor activities, or take short trips to celebrate the holiday. As a public holiday, most businesses, schools, and government offices are closed, allowing residents to relax and spend time with loved ones. The holiday also marks the end of the Easter season in the Christian liturgical calendar.
