What holiday is it?
Puzzled myself.
Edit: did a search, and I’m guessing this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumption_of_Mary
Probably a holiday only in Catholic countries, and very likely not in protestant ones.

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.
What fo you mean as a bank holiday? It is a religious holiday
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”.
