I noticed on our corporate global calendar that offices in France and Germany were closed one day last week for the Assumption of Mary.

I know it is in Chile and I recall it being a holiday in Argentina during a visit there.

I found this on the internet

Assumption Day is a public holiday in countries such as Austria, Belgium, Chile, Croatia, France, parts of Germany, Guatemala, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland (the holiday may be regional or limited to certain groups in Switzerland).

One thing for sure — the next federally declared religious holiday in the US won’t be of Judea Christian traditions...
