Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and is celebrated as a holiday in some largely Christian cultures. Formerly, the post-Easter festivities involved a week of secular celebration, but this was reduced to one day in the 19th century. Events include egg rolling competitions and, in predominantly Catholic countries, dousing other people with water which, at one time, had been holy water blessed the day before at Easter Sunday Mass and carried home to bless the house and food. Easter Monday on the Catholic liturgical calendar is the second day of the octave of Easter Week. In the Catholic Byzantine Rite and the Eastern Orthodox Church, Easter Monday is called Bright Monday. Though not largely observed in the United States, the day remains informally observed in some areas such as the states of North Carolina and North Dakota, and the cities of Buffalo, New York and South Bend, Indiana. Traditionally Polish areas of the country such as Chicago observe Dingus Day as well. Easter Monday is a public holiday, along with Good Friday in Australia (and some other Commonwealth countries). Along with Good Friday, Easter Monday is a Bank Holiday in the United Kingdom (except Scotland), making a four-day weekend.
