In the North West of England, church and chapel parades called whit walks still take place at this time (sometimes on Whit Friday, the Friday after Whitsun).[8] Typically, the parades include brass bands and choirs; girls attending are dressed in white. Traditionally, Whit fairs (sometimes called Whitsun ales[9]) took place. Other customs, such as Morris dancing, were associated with Whitsun, although in most cases they have been transferred to the Spring bank holiday. Whaddon, Cambridgeshire has its own Whitsun tradition of singing a unique song around the village before and on Whit Sunday itself.[10]
"Pfingsten" for me means: 50 days after EasterStill doesn't mean anything.

Meh.While we're on the subject, I'm rather fond of the word pumpernickel. How do others feel about this word?
what words do you use?
Do you wish: Happy Whitsun!
Here in Germany we do! We say: "Frohe Pfingsten!"
In the Anglo-Saxon world Whitsun seems to be forgotten holiday.
Lots of people do not even know the word "Whitsun".
One leaves Whitsun to those terrible "Pentecostals" who have completely perverted this holiday.
