Germany is the country with the strong Christian tradition. The majority of its citizens belong to either Roman Catholic, or Protestant Evangelical Church.
The tradition is strong in western and southern Germany, while has been seriously weakened by communists in East Germany.
Please, note that some of the feasts (Easter, All Saints and Christmas ) are celebrated in all federal states, but celebration of the other depends on the majority of the believers in the state.
The Assumption Day is free of work in Bavaria, and the protestant feast of Repentance is a public holiday only in Saxony.
Some of the towns and cities prepare special events for particular days of Carnival, like Rose Monday and Shrove Tuesday.
