Whit Monday Description

The Monday following Pentecost, the seventh Sunday after Easter, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. Historically a church holiday, it became notable in 2004 when designated as a day of solidarity — originally asking workers to contribute a day's wages to support the elderly and disabled, though enforcement has varied. Church attendance remains traditional.
