Festivals and traditions

This section invites you to explore the church festivals and traditions that we have in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark. We celebrate the same festivals as other churches in Denmark. However, some traditions differ. Likewise, the Church in Denmark has most festivals in common with churches abroad, but we also have a festival in Denmark that is not a worldwide church festival: the Great Prayer Day. Another particularity is that at the great church festivals (Christmas, Easter and Pentecost) we have an additional holy day which is also a public holiday, e.g. Easter Monday. For more information and to take part in the celebrations, do not hesitate to contact a church in your area.
