Thanks for that; I thought it was some joke I just didn’t get.

Well, it is.

I don't get it either. Judging by the comments I believe it's some kind of local German pagan holiday naming.

Violet Tuesday (Veilchendienstag) is Pancake or Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras).

Nelkensamstag is named after the flower, not the herb and thus should be Dianthus Saturday.

I miss carnival. The stripey socks, the random teenagers in fur outfits with skiing gear, the terrible endless schlagermusik, the weird old women with twigs strapped to their heads going around rubbing soot into peoples faces, the shitty rain, oh and the beer.

Vulkan is made by a company called Khronos. And I think that's beautiful.
