Second day of Pentecost (Holiday in Norway)

Like the second day of Easter and the second day of Christmas, the second day of Pentecost has no religious significance. Still, it is traditionally a day off.
People often travel away at Pentecost, and therefore Monday in Norway has become a day off.

World No Tobacco Day has been marked in Norway since 1988. On 31 May each year, global attention is focused on tobacco-related deaths and diseases. Every year, the World Health Organization (WHO) determines the theme for the day, which in 2013 is "Ban tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship". They are responsible for the global selection. In Norway, the day is marked locally.
