Great Prayer Day in 2023

May 5, 🇩🇰 Denmark, 🇬🇱 Greenland, 🇫🇴 Faroe Islands.: General Prayer Day 🙏 Store Bededag (Great Prayer Day) is a festival celebrated on the 4th Friday after Easter Sunday. It is a collection of minor Christian holy days consolidated into one day. https://t.co/78CYwZQDf5 https://t.co/SsMiMj6Emc

Children in Denmark attend school 200 days a year. With Great Prayer Day struck from the calendar after 2023, when will the 'new' holiday to balance the schedule fall? https://t.co/ppjcDq94fo

Happy Store bededag or 'Great Prayer Day' celebrated in Denmark since 1686 as a consolidation of Catholic holidays that survived the Reformation (a kind of 'sorry-not-sorry, welcome to Lutheranism, have a day off!’). BUT this is the last one EVER. Big deal. Huge #livingdanishly

Sirens (including on smart phones) to be tested, deadline for tax returns, new rules for unemployment benefits and the last ever Great Prayer Day are among events and changes coming this month in Denmark. https://t.co/mk1KzNKIyC
