Great Prayer Day in 2022

Today's lunch was a sliced pork chop, a small salad and two hveder, which is a type of Danish dinner roll eaten around Great Prayer Day. Tried seasoning my cutting board rather than the chops and the result was okay, but might have used a bit too much salt🧂🐖 https://t.co/wjLaesEWIU

It’s Store Bededag (Great Prayer Day) today here in 🇩🇰. It’s traditional to eat these varme hveder (warm rolls with cardamom) since the bakers are closed. https://t.co/Uwd1sDzzBZ https://t.co/Yxm8Rwv6zS

Today is the great prayer day, my favorite Danish holiday. It's supposed to be christian, but I'd rather call it a celebration of pragmatism (a bishop 350 years ago, who thought there were too many days in the spring dedicated to some saint, and collected them into one)

"Store Bededag, also known as Great Prayer Day or General Prayer Day, is a special Danish festival celebrated on the fourth Friday after Easter Sunday" Festival is maybe a bit overboard, it was back in the day but now it is just this one day and that is today 😍

Tomorrow is a holiday here. It’s called Store Bededag, which means great prayer day. I won’t be saying any great prayers, but I will be enjoying being off work on a national holiday during the summer period, which has not happened since I lived in Denmark. Yay!

@ASElliotKing Oh yes. The special Danish Holliday. The great prayer day. The fourth Friday after Easter. People were supposed to attend one of three sermons in church that day and hopefully be sober. The fasting period then ended and you again enjoy the pleasures of life.
