Yes, it's religious :d 

 

Not sure if it's catholic though, it might not be, which would explain why a catholic country doesn't have it :p (although I do remember being in Brazil and seeing advertisements about it.... @thiago_simoes @vinipereira Hello to the ice hockey thread, can you tell us if Pentecoste is a thing in Brazil? :d )

 

I think it's a thing only among religious people and we don't have a free day for that - although, like @thiago_simoes said, on May 31st we have a catholic holiday ("Corpus Christi") that might be related to that... or not... Sorry, I'm not religious at all. :p

@hckosice , You should have Marian Hossa working for Slovak Hockey.

 

I think he will. All guys from the so-called gold generation are already more or less implemented now since last years "internal hockey revolution" like Miro Šatan general manager, Ján Lašák coach of goalies, and guys like Vladimír Országh, Michal Handzuš or for example Ľubomír Višňovský helping the coach Ramsey as his assistants or consultants, everything in order of the total cleaning mission and re-start of our hockey

Wait, are Pentecoste and Corpus Christi the same thing? Or are they related somehow?

We have a number of national holidays each year related to religious things, but I'm agnostic, so I pay little to no attention about what they actually mean. All I know it that in two weeks I'll not work from Thursday to Sunday, so I'm super happy about it. :lol:

 

no, they're not

Corpus Christi (or Corpus Domini) is a liturgical celebration only scheduled in Italy, the Catholic Swiss Cantons, Brazil, Spain, Croatia, Poland, Germany, Ireland, Austria and San Marino

it's related with Christ's Last Dinner and rememeber the presence of Christ in the Eucharist...

it's scheduled for the first Thursday after the Pentecost (or, in the Countries where it's just a religious celebration but not a civil Holiday -like here in Italy, it's set on the second Sunday after the Pentecost)...

 

meanwhile Pentecost is the Holy Spirit descent on the Faithfuls and it's celebrated 50 days after Easter...

for most Catholic Countries, Italy included (except for South Tyrol, where they follow the German Countries and still have the Holiday Monday), the Holiday has only a religious matter and it's celebrated only on the given Sunday, meanwhile the Monday's rest has been abolished more than 100 years ago by Pope Pius X...

the only Nations having this privilege (Monday's rest, I mean) are Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg (and the Italian region of South Tyrol, as written before)...

after our little religious divagation, back to Hockey (my real Religion)...:pope::rofl:

 

and I must admit that, as an Italian living quite close to the Border and long time follower of their hockey, I'm so envious of this Swiss campaign...and at the same time I must also say  that my heart got broken when SWE won last night...:cry:

despite being against any reasonable thought, I really hoped that the Swiss guys could do the miracle (in particular, when they went to the shootout, I started to believe that Genoni had a great chance to outclass Nilsson)...

hopefully, it won't take another 5 years to see Switzerland entering another World final...hopp Schwiiiitz!!! :lol:
