Whit Monday or Pentecost is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter. Whitsun, which is also known as the “birthday of the church”, is marked by very special religious services and celebrations. It also denotes the end of the Easter period. At Whitsun the church remembers the day when following Christ’s ascension into heaven, the Holy Ghost descended to Christ’s disciples. From this day forward the disciples began to teach about Jesus. In many towns and villages throughout Bavaria Whit Monday is a day marked by magnificent horse backed processions OFF POST EVENTS New Orleans Festival June 6 – 8: in 90762 Fürth, at the Fürther Freiheit (ca. 10 km / 6 miles west of Nürnberg). A little bit of the Southern States flair is lighting up Fürths atmosphere this weekend. Several live bands will entertain you while youre enjoying your delicious Cajun food (or at least a German attempt at it). FYI: most Germans shy away from really hot food and restaurateurs usually accommodate this, so you may need to add some spicy sauces (which should be available) to make their attempt at Cajun food more authentic. Historical Fest: Crana Historica June 7 – 9: in 96317 Kronach, at the Festung Rosenberg = castle (ca. 60 km / 37 miles NE of Bamberg, or 45 km / 28 miles north of Bayreuth). This is a huge fest where Kronach (Latin name: Crana) celebrates its rich history. A medieval market will be set up where you can find numerous crafted goods: from decorations, medieval-style clothes, jewellery, leatherwares, toys, all the way to helmets, swords, battle axes, armour, music instruments, and other equipment necessary for re-enactments. But thats not all. Of course there will be plenty of stalls selling typical food as would have been served a few centuries ago; as well as bread, smoked fish, sweets, honey products, wine, met, liqueurs, and the specially brewed Rollsalvenbier (beer). All day long, the groups from the field camp will entertain you with show fights, shooting competitions (bow and arrow), singing monks, fire-eaters, jugglers, and much more! You might even be allowed to put on an authentic chain mail and helmet.
