Easter Monday

Easter Monday, known as *Uskrsni ponedjeljak* in Croatian, is a public holiday in Croatia that follows Easter Sunday, marking the second day of the Easter celebrations. It is a day deeply rooted in Christian traditions, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many Croatians attend church services, which are often accompanied by special rituals and blessings. Families and friends gather to continue the festive atmosphere, sharing traditional meals such as *pinca* (a sweet Easter bread) and painted eggs. Outdoor activities, picnics, and visits to relatives are also common, as the holiday coincides with the arrival of spring. Easter Monday is a time for relaxation, reflection, and enjoying the company of loved ones, blending religious observance with cultural customs.
