Easter in Luxembourg
In Luxembourg, Easter is the most important religious holiday, just as it is in plenty other Christian countries. This holiday begins with the Lent and ends in the first Tuesday after Easter proper.
Luxembourg Education
In the country of Luxembourg in Europe the Luxembourg Ministry of Education is in charge for scrutinizing and running the national education plan of Luxembourg Education. The 116 local townships of Luxembourg place their individual educational association and class program on a yearly basis.
Traditions and Holidays
The annual high points of Luxembourg culture are the Oktav, the Revue and the Fouer, says a local comic. And in a way, he’s right. Three times a year, custom compels Luxembourgers from the country to go on a pilgrimage to their capital: to the Octave, for eight days of prayer dedicated to Our Lady, Consolatrix Afflictorum; to the Revue, a satirical revue of the political year; and to the Schueberfouer, or Fouer, a funfair during several weeks. Take a closer look, and it’s clear that most holidays have developed out of the country’s religious tradition.
