Sunday and Monday, Germans observe “Pfingsten,” or Pentecost. It’s a religious fest, and Monday is considered an official holiday in Germany. Stores, banks and official institutions will be closed.

If you haven’t noticed already, Germany does holidays, and they do them big. Easter is the second most important celebration in Germany. Many familiar Easter customs originate from Germany, such as decorated eggs and the Easter bunny. It is easily one of the most popular holidays, signifying the ending of a long cold winter and the beginning of the spring season.
