PING!
Happy Ascension Day, to all christians and others!
It is a day to remember, day of joy that should be celebrated with your family. Here in Iceland it is a public holiday, although its value has been a little lessened in this year as shops have been allowed to have open unlike before. But most people can stay home and celebrate this important event with the family, now it is mostly done as this is a popular day for confirmation cervices.
As municipal elections are taking place in just two days here, it is popular with the parties to use it for events for the families and such.
How is this day celebrated in the US?
Best wishes from Iceland,
Leifur
