Easter Monday

Easter Monday in Montenegro is a continuation of the Easter celebrations, which are deeply rooted in the country's Orthodox Christian traditions. Following Easter Sunday, which marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Easter Monday is a public holiday observed with religious reverence and cultural festivities. Many Montenegrins attend church services, where special prayers and hymns are offered. Families often gather for festive meals, featuring traditional dishes such as roasted lamb, Easter bread (pogača), and colored eggs, which symbolize new life. It is also a day for relaxation and spending time with loved ones, often including outdoor activities or visits to relatives. Easter Monday reflects Montenegro's rich spiritual heritage and the importance of family and community in its culture.
