About local holidays
Norway observes twelve public holidays. National Day (May 17) marks the 1814 Eidsvoll Constitution — children parade in bunad, the King waves from the Palace balcony. Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension and Whit Monday reflect the Lutheran heritage (the Church of Norway was a state church until 2012). Christmas and Second Christmas Day (Andre juledag) close December. Most Norwegians also take the whole week between Christmas and New Year ("romjul").
