Happy Pfingsten!
Yay! It's yet another public holiday in Germany: PFINGKSTEN. (See exactly one week ago, the last public holiday here. Need some time off? Move to Germany.)
Pfinksten is another of those obscure Catholic holidays nobody's quite sure what the gist is. There was actually a poll on TV where they asked random people on the street what Pfinksten is and NOBODY knew. Not one. None.
I just found out (from a 10 second search of Wikipedia) that it's the day after Pentecost. Yay! Also called Whit Monday in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Maybe Etta or other Catholic school alumnus readers can enlighten us further.
That's about the extent of it, good enough reason for a day off I guess!
Oh, and perfect holiday Weather in Cologne: 57°F (14°C) and SUNNY!

my catholic school was mostly populated with wannabe WASPs, so we didn't learn a whole lot of doctrine. thank jebus we have the internets. apparently pentecost celebrates the holy spirit appearing to the apostles 50 days after easter. then they all spoke in tongues! it's interesting that it's an official holiday since it's not even a holy day of obligation according to the catholic church (days other than sunday on which you are obliged to go to church, e.g., dec. 8, feast of the immaculate conception, and ash wednesday)
