It is Bank Holiday Weekend, Mount Vema Thanksgiving - King Peter 49th birthday

The Government announced on Tuesday that all services provided by Mount Vema institutions including online will be closed for business on the 24th and 25nd of April for Mount Vema Thanksgiving. This is a bank holiday celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the birth of the founding father of the Mount Vema society.
 
King Peter J. Goldishman of Mount Vema was born on April the 25th 1974. A date which the Mount Vema community marks with an annual thanksgiving meal where fish is part of the menu. The government has used Royal Mount Vema Proclamation this year, a rule used to move the celebration of a bank holiday.
 
When the Kingdom of Mount Vema was first formed, King Peter used his birthday to promote the Mount Vema fisheries and to celebrate his love for seafood. This, then became a tradition that everyone followed. Today, most members of the Mount Vema community gather on the 25th of April to mark the occasion each year for a meal based on fish or seafood recipes, as the Mount Vema Thanksgiving Day.
 
The King’s birthday, has become more than just about the Mount Vema Thanksgiving meal tradition but also a competition among community members, restaurants and yachts with links to Mount Vema for the best Vema Seamount fish recipe, as people with ties to Mount Vema spend the holiday with family and friends. >>>
