Except for the national holiday (German Unity Day), public holidays in Germany (''gesetzliche Feiertage'') are determined by the federal states. Notes: Good Friday and Holy Saturday are so-called "quiet days" (''stille Tage''), when certain restrictions apply, as defined by local state authorities. An example of this is the ban on dancing on Good Friday, which is observed in almost all German states. == Custom about holidays == Either Carnival Monday ("Rose Monday") or Mardi Gras is a de facto holiday in some towns and cities in Catholic western and southern Germany which have a strong Carnival tradition. Ascension Day (Christi Himmelfahrt) and Corpus Christi (Fronleichnam) are both always on Thursdays. By taking only one day's leave, employees can have a four-day weekend. The Three Kings Day, better known as Epiphany, is 6 January, the day after the 12 days of Christmas. In parts of Germany, it has its own local customs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public holidays in Germany」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
