EASTER MONDAY

The Easter Monday is also known as the Bright Monday, Renewal Monday, Wet Monday, and Dyngus Day.

It is the Monday immediately after Easter Sunday.

It is observed by many Christian groups, but primarily by the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions. It marks the beginning of Easter Week (Roman Catholic) / Bright Week (Eastern Orthodox).

Different Cultures observe Easter Monday very differently.

For some, Easter Monday is a solemn remembrance of Christ’s death and resurrection marked by an outdoor procession.

For others, there are Easter egg-rolling competitions.

For still others, siblings and/or spouses wake each other up by pouring buckets of water on each other (hence the name “Wet Monday”).

And others celebrate with a large gathering and a polka festival (Dingus Day).

Anyway the day is mostly celebrated as the day the Disciples went to meet with Jesus Christ at Galilee after His Resurrection.

There is a lot embedded in the Galilee Encounter with Jesus Christ which a lot of Christians nowadays should desire to get.
