Whit Monday

This weekend was a busy few days. Monday was Whit Monday, which follows Whit Sunday, which is Pentecost.

Norwegians take their religion seriously, taking off and shutting down pretty often, which I find curious for a country, that according to 2005 Gallup International survey, is the least religious country in Western Europe.
