Why those days? I know that the 19th of March is Saint Joseph, but for the rest? Have those dates any particular meaning?
Wikipedia explains some history of dates that are not on Saint Joseph's day, but couldn't find a detailed explanation for every country.
Also found out some wild stuff like:
In Germany it's Jesus-Did-Something-Again-Day (at least here in the South. The North has significantly fewer public holidays because they aren't aware of all those amazing, holiday-worthy things Jesus did around the year).
To be more precise, it's Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ - or in German, Christ's Heaven Trip (Christi Himmelfahrt).
