threeplusfireDENMARK: COMMON PRAYER DAY
On the fourth Friday following Easter, Denmark celebrates its own
religious holiday. Common Prayer Day was adopted over 300
years ago to replace all the minor days of feasting and praying
with one single day of prayer. This public holiday is known locally
as Store Bededag. In the evening church bells are rung. People
dress in new spring clothes and eat a special warm bread
called varme hveder.
