About Easter Monday holiday in Australia
Easter Monday in Australia is a public holiday that falls on the day after Easter Sunday, marking the end of the Easter long weekend. It is part of the Christian celebration of Easter, which commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While Easter Sunday is a religious observance, Easter Monday is often seen as a more relaxed day for family gatherings, outdoor activities, and community events.
In Australia, many people take advantage of the long weekend to travel, enjoy the outdoors, or attend special events such as Easter egg hunts, festivals, and sports competitions. Shops and businesses may have reduced hours, and some services may be closed. The holiday provides an opportunity for Australians to unwind and spend time with loved ones, often extending the festive spirit of Easter.
