DESCRIPTION:Easter Monday is more than a name\n\n\n Christmas is always on
December 25\, Thanksgiving the 4th Thursday in November\, and July 4th is
self-explanatory. Easter\, however\, is calculated quite differently. It c
omes the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox.
For this reason\, the unofficial holiday can come as early as the third Su
nday in March and as late as the fourth Sunday in April. The day after is
known as Easter Monday and it is much more than an acknowledgment of the d
ay that proceeds it.\n Perhaps you have wondered about the significance of
this date and how or why it came to be. There was a time in America when
this date was observed nationally although Easter is not a national federa
l holiday. Americans who did not believe in what the day represented\, res
pected those who did. Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox\, do celebrate
the day as a legal holiday as part of their cultural tradition.\n\n\nEaste
r Monday long past\n\n\n Some American businesses were closed on the Monda
y following Easter Sunday years ago and children were off from school for
Good Friday and Easter Monday prior to having an entire week as a break. S
ome people of faith scheduled paid time off from their jobs on Easter Mond
ay and churches\, as well as individuals\, hosted egg hunts because the ch
ildren were out of school.\n Today students have an entire week of spring
break which does not always coincide with the Sunday designated to observe
the Christian celebration of Christ'\;s resurrection. It can be the we
eks prior to or the one that follows what has become known as Holy week. A
merican schools once allowed students to decorate with Easter decorations
and have holiday programs but educators today no longer can mention Easter
or Christmas. This is because the separation of church and state is being
emphasized more in modern society\n\n\nEaster Monday Celebrations in diff
erent cultures\n\n\n Easter Monday in some cultures is called Renewal Mond
ay\, or Bright Monday\, which is a time to reflect on the meaning of the s
eason. In Catholicism\, the day is known as the Monday of the angel. The d
ay after Easter/Resurrection Sunday for some is the official ending of all
that leads up to the date before the work week resumes.\n Easter Monday f
or many is the culmination of all that has taken place beginning with Madi
Gras\, which includes Fat Tuesday\, Ash Wednesday\, Lent\, and all Holy w
eek observances. Although America does not officially recognize Easter Mon
day it is a public holiday in many other countries worldwide.\n In Eastern
Christianity\, the Monday that follows Resurrection Sunday marks the seco
nd day of Octave which is an 8-day celebration beginning on Easter Sunday
and ending the following Sunday. In Western Christianity\, this is called
the week of Eastertide.\n\n\n\n
