Happy Whit Monday, everyone!
My calendar says today is Whit Monday. I have no idea what that is. I will just assume it's a national holiday celebrating Whit.
Of course that's what it means, Top.
This is the best holiday everrrr!!

For people who are interested in what the calendar was thinking..
Wikipedia wrote:Whit Monday or Pentecost Monday (also known as Monday of the Holy Spirit) is the holiday celebrated the day after Pentecost, a moveable feast in the Christian calendar. It is moveable because it is determined by the date of Easter.
The calendar is an AIO fan, Moontide. Don't use your crazy Wikipedia sources on us.

Those with the OAC will note that John Avery Whittaker, or "Whit", as his friends call him, was given his nickname after Whit Sunday, among other things.
I've never heard Pentecost referred to that way before, but hey, fun trivia! Top clearly buys superior calendars.

It's a UK thing. I also learned it from the episode, only a few months ago.Catspaw wrote:I've never heard Pentecost referred to that way before, but hey, fun trivia! Top clearly buys superior calendars.
