Also in Germany. Here it is called Pentecost and today is Whit Monday, an official holiday here. Don't the English celebrate this Christian holiday (can't believe it's German only)?
Yes, in Greece we have Pentecost (Πεντηκοστή) also, it follows the Easter Sunday, 50 days later. But our Orthodox Easter doesn't always coincide with the Catholic one.

I also now assume that there is at least one bank holiday every week in the UK. :p

I just read that it is not a public holiday in the UK. Shops are open. So they still exist - the signs and wonders.
It is usually a bank holiday here but it was changed to last Friday this year because of the Platinum Jubilee.

It is true one day a week (Sunday) is a holiday for almost everyone in the UK not working in retail, entertainment or leisure.

The normal UK bank holiday would have been last Monday, from Wiki:

The spring bank holiday started as the Monday after Pentecost. This is known as Whitsun or Whit Monday in the United Kingdom. The Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, moved this bank holiday to the last Monday in May, following a trial period of this arrangement from 1965 to 1970
