Whitsun on Texel

The Bible says that on the morning of the 49th day after Easter, Jesus’ Apostles met at a house in Jerusalem. All of a sudden, an enormous gust of wind filled the house and a flame appeared above the head of each Apostle. From that moment on, they could spread the word about their faith and convert people to Christianity. The day on which those events took place is called Whitsun; it is a Catholic holiday. In many European countries, the Monday after Whitsun (Whit Monday) is an official public holiday too.

Texel’s natural beauty is at its best at Whitsun. Delicate green leaves adorn the trees and bushes and the clear blues skies promise pleasant temperatures. At Whitsun, the sun has enough heat to warm you while you sip a coffee on a terrace or spend an afternoon sunbathing in the shelter of the dunes.
