Easter Monday

Easter Monday, known as *Ouschterméindeg* in Luxembourgish, is a public holiday in Luxembourg that follows Easter Sunday. It is part of the Easter celebrations, which commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christian tradition. While Easter Sunday is a day of religious observance and family gatherings, Easter Monday is often a more relaxed day, marked by leisure activities, outdoor events, and time spent with loved ones. In Luxembourg, many people take advantage of the long weekend to enjoy the spring weather, often participating in Easter egg hunts, picnics, or walks in the countryside. Traditional Easter foods, such as lamb, eggs, and pastries, continue to be enjoyed. Shops and businesses are typically closed, allowing families to spend quality time together. The holiday is a blend of religious significance and cultural traditions, reflecting Luxembourg's rich heritage and community spirit.
