April 30 is named " Quensday " in the Netherlands, with the official celebration of the birthday of Queen Beatrix.
Most of all Dutch JW's enjoy this Queensday and take part! The best day of the year. Markets, Festivals etc. etc.
The Thanksgiving topic is like the same...

That reminded me ... years ago our congregation (in Germany) made a trip to the Netherlands. We also visited a "Bible Museum" (which was actually just a few pictures of popes etc.).
Anyway, when we were on the road back on Sunday morning, the presiding overseer told through the microphone: "Now let's hold a minute of silence for the poor brothers who are in the meeting."
