Still in Vordingborg, wondering where to cope with the snow forecast for next week. Meanwhile taken aback by deserted streets:
Store Brededag or Great Prayer Day on the fourth Friday after Easter. A consolidation of various previous minor holy days established in 1686.
"Under the law, all trade, work, etc were forbidden from 6 pm on the day before Store Brededag, to ensure that nobody would be late or drunk when they had to attend the next day's obligatory church service."
So no more fish till tomorrow.
