Easter Monday

Easter Monday, known as *Anden Påskedag* in Danish, is a public holiday in Denmark that follows Easter Sunday. It is part of the broader Easter celebrations, which blend Christian traditions with Danish cultural customs. While Easter Sunday is often marked by church services and family gatherings, Easter Monday is typically a more relaxed day, offering Danes an extended opportunity to enjoy time with loved ones. In Denmark, Easter is associated with the arrival of spring, and many people take advantage of the holiday to spend time outdoors, enjoying nature or visiting relatives. Traditional activities include decorating homes with Easter-themed ornaments, such as eggs, chickens, and spring flowers, and indulging in festive foods like *påskebryg* (Easter beer) and *påskelam* (Easter lamb). Easter Monday is also a day for leisure, with many businesses and shops closed, allowing people to unwind after the busy Easter weekend. It is a time for reflection, relaxation, and enjoying the first signs of spring in Denmark.
