What is Easter Monday?
Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday. In many Christian countries it has long been a second day of celebration, and in a large part of Europe it is a public holiday. Its date moves with Easter and always falls between late March and late April.
In the church calendar, Easter is not a single day but a whole season of fifty days, running until Pentecost. Easter Monday is the first day of Easter week, which is why many countries traditionally kept it as a day of rest and visiting family.
In 2027 it falls on Monday, March 29.
Easter Monday in the United States
Easter Monday is not a federal holiday, and offices, schools and businesses are generally open. Some schools schedule their spring break around Easter, so families may still have the day off.
One well-known tradition takes place on Easter Monday: the White House Easter Egg Roll, where children push decorated eggs across the South Lawn with long-handled spoons. The event has been held for well over a century.
A few places have their own Easter Monday customs, often brought by immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, such as Dyngus Day in Buffalo, New York, a celebration of Polish-American heritage with parades, music and food.
