Aviatrix,

Thank you for your post about the holidays. I am glad you called the dates to my attention. You said:

Be aware that Thursday 17 May and Monday 21 May are public holidays in Germany (and most neighbouring countries) this year.

I have been given different dates for the some German public holidays. I have been told that Whitsun, which I believe is Pentacost Sunday(forgive me if I am wrong), is celebrated on May 28, and the following day, Monday May 29, is a public holiday as well.

Can you confirm?
