Why those days? I know that the 19th of March is Saint Joseph, but for the rest? Have those dates any particular meaning?

In Germany it's Jesus-Did-Something-Again-Day (at least here in the South. The North has significantly fewer public holidays because they aren't aware of all those amazing, holiday-worthy things Jesus did around the year).

To be more precise, it's Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ - or in German, Christ's Heaven Trip (Christi Himmelfahrt).
