Is it today also the "fast" day in the Netherlands ? here it is, it is a national holiday, all stores and offices are closed, peoples don´t eat meat :p and you literally don´t hear a single voice outdoor, everyone is at home..

Because I attend catholic school they don’t serve meat on Fridays during lent, because that’s the “fast” day here in the US. I could make some good profit though, by bringing sandwich meat and selling at lunch :p.

Nothing special here, apart from probably some extra church services for those interested :p 

 

Well and the shops close earlier, in my town (way more strictly Christian than the rest of the country) they close at 18:00 instead of 21:00 which is the normal time to close on Friday. It's also not a national holiday although quite a lot of people take the day off to have a 4-day weekend (since Monday, or 'Second Easter Day') is a national holiday :d 

 

Generally though: no, today is just a day as any other.

That's not only in Slovakia. Every normal person should be doing it. 

Exactly. People are nice accepting you in their home and then you'd go in with your dirty shoes and mess up their nice floor, carpet, whatever? Booo.

I am normal and I wear shoes in home and generally we all do that here. But also if a person wants someone to take of your shoes to enter their home then of course you should.

Why would you wear shoes in your own home? :d
