What Is Easter Monday? by SamuelTurner(m): 4:20am On Apr 02, 2018 |
Question: "What is Easter Monday?"
Answer: Easter Monday, also known as Bright Monday,
Renewal Monday, Wet Monday, and Dyngus Day, 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).
Some of these observances have more Christian
symbolism in them than others, but none of them are
explicitly biblical. The Bible does not say anything about
what happened on Easter Monday, the day after Jesus’
resurrection. The Bible does not instruct followers of
Jesus Christ to observe Easter Monday, so there is no
obligation to celebrate it. As with many holidays, there
is nothing wrong with observing some cultural
traditions, but it is important to not allow traditions to
detract from the message of the gospel. |
