A "Work Group for Interculturality" from the Belgian Government wants to remove Easter Monday, Pentecost Monday, the Ascension, Assumption and All Saints from the list of National Holidays -- Christimas will remain the only free Christian feast day.

“Easter Monday” and “Pentecost Monday” are not Christian religious dates. They’re like “Washington’s Birthday Observed,” which means, “Government employees would call in sick on the Monday if it were a scheduled workday.”
Never in the last 200 years was there a time like this. The world turning its back on its Redeemer, Jesu, Joy of Man's desiring."
God, make us salt and light in the world until you come.

Imported traditions from conquering cultures?
Lavender mafia parades?
Workers socialist paradise parades?
God's Word tells us and it's not a pretty picture.
Then, in a year or so, it will be “eliminate Christmas” too. The end goal is to strip European societies of all Christian trappings.
Guess who rushes in to fill the void left by the removal of Christianity? Hint - they are the loving tolerant people who sliced Daniel Pearl’s neck while he was still living.
The Belgians won’t like this. They like to loaf.
The reason why they want to eliminate Christianity is because it’s the religion of White Europeans, who they hate.
All eradication of Christian life and fundamental true biblical Christianity is the goal of Lucifer. For those who believe it is where we are heading. Read - Revelation 13 and 17:13-14 if you choose to find the answers to what will be. The Good news OUT OF ALL THIS is found in Revelation 19:11-21!!
Even so Come LORD JESUS!

Thanks for that quote. I’ve never seen it before but it’s something about Europe I’ve often said and thought.
They are, respectively, the first days of the octave of those Feasts and were celebrated in most Catholic places, at least during the Industrial Rev. I was surprised myself to see that Pentecost Monday was also celebrated in Ireland until recent memory.
