Easter Monday
Definition
Easter Monday is the Monday immediately following Easter Sunday, celebrated as a public holiday in many countries, particularly those with Christian traditions, marking the end of the Easter weekend.
It commemorates the day when, according to biblical accounts, the disciples discovered Jesus's empty tomb and the resurrection narrative continued, often observed with family gatherings, games, and egg-rolling traditions.

In some places, Easter Monday means dyeing eggs and rolling them down hills—because nothing says 'resurrection' like a good old-fashioned egg apocalypse.
