We actually celebrate both on Sunday and Monday. The reason being is that some people have to work on Good Friday so Easter Monday was basically invented so those who worked on Good Friday could take the day off on Easter Monday.

So basically Easter Monday is a holiday the government created just so they could be lazy, just like Family Day. >_>

Thanks for that explanation of Easter Monday, Atlinsmere!
I think I understand it a little better now.

Yep, I understand about governments messing with holidays. I think we have something similar here in the US with our 3 day weekend holidays. A holiday is usually only one day, but somehow the government says we need a whole 3 days to celebrate it in. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not complaining about getting a whole weekend off from work.

Uuuuhhhg, I ate a pound of Cadbury Creme Eggs and other chocolate products yesterday. Don't try that at home folks.

Tweeg, hope you feel okay today from eating all that chocolate.

I was surprised at all the chocolate bunnies, eggs, etc., that was on display at the stores this year. It was hard to resist it all. They even had chocolate crosses and praying hands. The chocolate and candy business at Easter has really become overwhelming.

Bumping this topic up for 2011.

Happy Easter Sunday everyone!

And, Happy Easter Monday to all our Canadian friends!

May you all have a very happy and blessed Easter holiday.

Happy Easter Sunday and Monday to everyone!

Happy Easter everyone. Now I must eat my Tim-Tams.

Happy Easter, and mmmmm, Tim Tams! They only sell the original and caramel ones around here. They're also called "Arnott's Original." Weird. Anyway, I had plenty of Jelly Belly and Jolly Rancher jelly beans and a wonderful time worshiping with my family and friends.

Happy easter to everyone here ^^

Bumping this up for the Easter holiday in 2012.

Easter is when many celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after he was crucified on the cross 3 days earlier.

Easter Sunday is also a day when many families gather together to enjoy time with each other, having Sunday dinners and perhaps an Easter Egg hunt for fun.

Whatever your plans, may you have a glorious and very Happy Easter!

And let's not forget Easter Monday for our good friends in Canada. Happy Easter weekend to everyone!

Happy easter weekend for everybody on this site all over the world ! Try not to have a sever indigestion !;)
