Easter Monday commemorates the day of Christ's resurrection. It is honoured as a special day worldwide, marking the ending part of the Easter festivities. Although varied in significance across different cultures, in many Western Christian denominations, Easter Monday is often observed as a day of reflection and rest following the solemnities and jubilations of Easter Sunday. Historically, Easter Monday had its roots in medieval times, with customs such as 'lifting' where men would lift women on Easter Monday, and the women would return the favour on the next day. The day also has an important association with sports, with games played on Easter Monday dating back to the 19th century. Special fixtures are often scheduled in football leagues across the country on this day. In the modern day, United Kingdom residents often celebrate Easter Monday as a continuation of Easter festivities. Traditions often involve Easter egg hunts, church services, and spending quality time with family. It typically serves as a day to relax and enjoy a day off work for many, given it's a designated public holiday. The specific date of Easter Monday changes each year as it is determined by the ecclesiastical approximation of the March equinox. It always falls on the day after Easter Sunday, which lands somewhere between March 22 and April 25. Top X Posts (formerly Tweets) for Easter Monday -Updated
