Open Christmas markets before Sunday: Nordkirche practices sharp criticism!

In a surprising step, open some Christmas markets in Schleswig-Holstein before the Sunday of the Dead. The showmen and market merchants in Kiel will start selling their goods on November 21, while in the rest of the country, markets such as in Büsum and Husum are also planning for deceased operational days before the commemoration day. "Every day counts in economically difficult times," said a representative of the showmen.

But this decision affects sharp criticism from the Nordkirche, which emphasizes that the early opening of the Christmas market is overplaying the time of mourning. The markets remain closed on the dead Sunday, November 24th, because on this quiet holiday there are public events that are not the serious character of the day. The authorities have to decide on site whether markets may be partially or completely opened according to information from www.tagesschau.de .
