Kekri Day in Finland

Description:

First Saturday of November
The first Saturday of November is called “Kekri Day”.

With this amazing word, Finns denote all the last (for example, the last leaf on a tree or the last unmarried daughter) and all the first (the first spring rain, the first grandson). “Kekri” is the beginning that marks the end of something and the end behind which something begins.

Need I say that Kekri Day is an official holiday? And that he usually leaves... That’s right, to prepare for Christmas!

In addition, “Kekri Day” is a holiday in itself, since it is a day of demonstrations and presentations of all programs and performances that will amaze viewers on Christmas Day.
