Surprisingly, indeed! Have a good 25th of April!
You too!
Also, you have carnations, we have poppies!
In the Netherlands we have two such holidays:
On the 4th of May we have the “Dodenherdenking” (Remembrance of the Dead) when we remember the victims of war, both soldier and civilian, as well as the victims of the Holocaust.
On the 5th of May we celebrate our “Bevrijdingsdag” (Liberation Day) to remember the end of the Nazi occupation.
In Germany we have two similar holidays.
The 8th of May is the “Tag der Befreiung” (Liberation Day), which commemorates the end of the National Socialist rule and probably comes closest to the Italian Liberation Day.
And in November (two weeks before the first Sunday in Advent) there’s the “Volkstrauertag” (People’s Mourning Day) to remember all nation’s victims of war and tyranny.
Apart from that, there is of course also the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on the 27th of January, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Thanks for your reply!
It’s crazy yours is on the 5th of May! It would be interesting to see how the dates correlate on a map.
Also, I think our holiday is two in one, but then we have Republic Day on the second of June, because that was the date of the referendum in monarchy vs republic
