Germany - Day of Repentance and Prayer
Buß- und Bettag (Day of Repentance and Prayer) is a public holiday in the Free State of Saxony, Germany. It is celebrated on the second Wednesday before the first Sunday of Advent.
Buß- und Bettag was established in Prussia in 1893. It was a Protestant church holiday. Eventually, Protestant church bodies outside Prussia followed suit and established it as well. After the unification of Germany, it became a national day of remembrance in 1934. However, it was abolished as a non-working holiday five years later.
