Method Details

calculateRepentanceAndPrayerDay() public method

Buß- und Bettag (Day of repentance and prayer) was a public holiday in Germany and is still a public holiday in Saxony. In Germany, Protestant church bodies of Lutheran, Reformed (Calvinist) and United denominational affiliation celebrate a day of repentance and prayer. It is now celebrated in November on the penultimate Wednesday before the beginning of the Protestant liturgical year on the first Sunday of Advent; in other words, it is the Wednesday that falls between 16th and 22nd November. However, it is not a statutory non-working holiday any more, except in the Free State of Saxony.
