Is Pentecost a Public Holiday?
Pentecost is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
In 2027, it falls on a Sunday, and some businesses may choose to follow Sunday opening hours.
According to Christian texts, the Holy Spirit, often symbolized by a dove, descended on the apostles who received the gift of tongues. Pentecost celebrates this event.
