Boxing Day, celebrated on December 26th, is a public holiday in Cyprus that follows Christmas Day. It is a day when people traditionally spend time with family and friends, continuing the festive celebrations.
Boxing Day's origins are British, and since Cyprus was a British colony until 1960, many British customs, including Boxing Day, have been integrated into Cypriot culture. The name "Boxing Day" comes from the historical practice of giving Christmas boxes containing small gifts or money to service workers or the needy the day after Christmas. This tradition of giving continues in various forms.
In Cyprus, the day does not typically involve the distribution of Christmas boxes. Instead, it's an extension of Christmas celebrations and an opportunity for relaxation and socializing.
Though it doesn't have deeply rooted cultural traditions specific to Cyprus, Boxing Day remains an extra day of leisure following the major celebration of Christmas.
