Jeûne genevois (meaning Genevan fast) is a public holiday in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland which occurs on the Thursday following the first Sunday of September. It dates back to the 16th century.
Jeûne genevois later became a patriotic holiday, symbolizing both Geneva's proud identity and its Protestantism
Plum pie (tarte aux pruneaux) is often served as dessert in Geneva homes on Jeûne genevois
