History

Easter Monday, as part of the Easter celebration, is rooted in Christian tradition commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Kenya, a country with a substantial Christian population, this day inherits its significance from these religious origins.

Traditions

Traditionally, Easter Monday was seen as a continuation of the festivities from Easter Sunday. Religious Kenyans often attend church services to close off the holy period of Lent and Easter. The day is also an opportunity for families to come together for a meal or outing.
