If you are like me, you are thankful to enjoy another holiday to rest and to gather energy but then you look at the calendar and it says Whit Monday...
You can either choose to ignore the name or to spend the day ruminating the name.
So, if I am ruminating the name other people may also be ruminating.
In short, Whit Monday or Pentecost day gets its name from Whitsunday, one of the 3 baptismal days, and is generally attributed to the white garments worn by those newly baptized on this day.
