Talk:Easter Monday

message: The article says that Easter Monday is a Roman Catholic Holy day of Obligation in Germany. This doesn't sound right to me; I was under the impression that there is a single set of days of obligation in the Roman Catholic faith and not some that are observed in one country and some in another.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.245.59.15 (talk) 14:07, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

message: The tradition of throwing water in Poland is dying. And €110 fines for doing it are helping. Though quite warm and dry this monday was a dry easter monday in the cities. Dyngus was mainly done in villages and among private parties. I think the dying of the tradition should be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.151.129 (talk) 11:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Poland

message: It seems like the Polish, Czech and Slovak celebrations with water and whips are part of the same ancient slavic tradition. This article needs a re-write so that it's clear that this is not some uniquely Polish activity. Here are some sources that outline similar celebrations in each of the three countries. Maybe the custom extends further than these three countries, but it definitely extends further than Poland.

thread_title: POV rewrite necessary

message: Is Easter Monday a Christian holiday? I know of no specific event ceblebrated say in the Methodist Church or similar non-conformist churches. Linuxlad (sorry, can't find mi tildes).
:I'm tempted to remove your addition to the article because:
:*Your statement here implies that you only have knowledge of the practices of non-conformist Methodist Churches in the US
:*You've added an important distinction as a parenthetical statement instead of as a clarifying subordinate clause to the opening sentence
:*You've misspelled "Protestant"
:*You can't "find" all the keys on your keyboard
:However, I also know that Easter Monday is not an official holy day in mainline Presbyterian Churches, congregations of the Southern Baptist Convention, or the Roman Catholic Church.  The celebrations mentioned in the article seem all to be continuations of pre-Christian fertility rituals, and the map implies that these celebrations are extremely localized.  Therefore, we have to repeat your first question to the world at large: is it a Christian holiday?  From what has been presented in the article, it really seems that it isn't.  I think a rewrite is needed.  Can someone with extensive knowledge of this please tackle this?  For now, I'm going to alter the first two sentences to indicate that this is a celebration in largely Christian areas of the world. Canonblack 12:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: According to  and , Easter Monday is not a holiday observed by the state of North Carolina, and I can't find any sources stating that it is.  Having lived in North Carolina for most of my life, I'm pretty sure that it isn't an official state holiday. Tony 13:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: A day that's not on the offical Catholic calendar probably shouldn't be called part of the Christian cultural conventions, especally considering that many traditions that take place on Easter itself pre-date Christanity. Joncnunn 18:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The celebrations are not limited to Europe. There is sufficient info in the article already about North American practices to show that (though many are, admittedy transplanted from Europe). However, the Middle East has had indigenous Christian populations for over two thousand years, and they celebrate Easter Monday. The same applies to Coptic Christians (Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea) and the other Oriental Orthodox (including the Church of the East).
HOW ABOUT IRELAND?? The Easter Rebellion was started on Easter Monday 1916! The G.P.O., Michael Collins, Patrick Pearse, Eamon DeVallera. The British foolishly turned an unpopular uprising into their eventual losing of their empire, by executing some of the I.R.B. leadership. Kind of big in history fellows.

Easter Monday exists in Italy. Things are closed and the Trains are running on the holiday schedules.  (My wife is there today 3/24/08)
I lived in Ontario, Canada for three years. We always got Good Friday off as a National Holiday but never Easter Monday. The Canada Government web page does list it as a National holiday. http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/jfa-ha/index_e.cfm

message: Here in Hungary we have a tradition somewhat similar to what I read about the Polish one, but with some differences. Traditionally, boys poured well water on the girls while reciting a poem (usually about watering a flower to make it bloom). Today, boys and men sprinkle girls and women with perfume, and girls are expected to give the boys money, chocolate, or eggs. (At the end of the day, girls wash their hair at least twice to remove the smell of 20 different types of perfume).
A very common poem used is:
Zöld erdőben jártam / Kék ibolyát láttam / El akart hervadni /Szabad-e locsolni?
I walked in a green forest / I saw a blue violet / It wanted to wilt / May I water it?

message: In Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (part of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina) neither Western nor Eastern rite Easter Monday is not official holiday. People has the right to take up to four days off during year for their religious holidays, and this is also case with Easter Monday. I'm removing FBIH from the list of countries because of that, and additionally, it is not independent state but entity within Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.--Plantago (talk) 08:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Except of the last part about Germany that section is entirely about eastern European countries. I know some people argue that since the Ural is the geographical border to Asia, Poland and Czech are rather central. But cultural and traditional the Slavic-speaking have always been eastern Europe. By more recent history eastern Europe are the countries that belonged to the Warsaw pact. No European in their right mind would call Poland, Czech, Slovakia and Hungary "Central Europe"!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.134.84.12 (talk) 22:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

message: In section 7, "United States", I read that Easter Monday was a public holiday in North Carolina from 1935 to 1987, and that some states and localities give the day off from school, and some other places have local celebrations.
This suggests that Easter Monday is not a public holiday in the USA and so I will delete it from the list Vincent J. Lipsio (talk) 10:42, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
