Easter Monday is a significant public holiday in Barbados, following the Christian celebration of Easter Sunday, which commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday falls on the day after Easter Sunday, which is a movable feast and therefore does not have a fixed date; it can occur anytime between March 23 and April 26.
While Easter Monday carries religious significance as part of the extended Easter celebrations, it also has cultural importance in Barbados. Historically, this day was an opportunity for families and communities to come together after attending church services throughout Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
On Easter Monday in Barbados, many people engage in outdoor activities to take advantage of the tropical climate. Picnics and beach outings are particularly popular, as families and friends gather to enjoy food, music, and relaxation by the sea.
Kite flying is another traditional activity associated with Easter Monday. The skies are often dotted with colorful kites, as kite flying competitions are held around the island. These competitions can be quite festive with prizes for various categories such as largest kite, smallest kite, or most creative design.
Annual sporting events may also be organized on this day, including horse racing at the Garrison Savannah—a tradition that dates back to colonial times.
In general, Easter Monday serves as an extension of the leisurely pace set during the long holiday weekend. It provides an opportunity for Barbadians to unwind before returning to their everyday routines.
