Kristihimmelsfärdsdag

Tomorrow is Ascension, and still a national holiday (a "red day") in Sweden. Literally the word means Kristi (Christ) himmel (Heaven) färd or fart ('journey' or 'speed' depending on who you talk to and in which Scandinavian country) - and is usually good for a vulgar titter in Swinglish conversation; but not mine, of course.
