Easter Monday in Kiribati

Easter Monday is a public holiday in Kiribati, a country composed of 33 atolls and reef islands in the central Pacific Ocean. As part of the broader Easter celebrations, which are significant in this predominantly Christian nation, Easter Monday follows Easter Sunday, the day that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

History and Traditions

The traditions surrounding Easter in Kiribati are reflective of its Christian heritage, which was established with the arrival of missionaries in the 19th century. Much like other Christian societies around the world, Easter is a period that marks the end of Lent, a time of fasting and penitence.

Activities on Easter Monday

On Easter Monday, I-Kiribati people often engage in community-oriented events and leisure activities. It is a day for families to come together and continue their celebrations from Easter Sunday. Common activities include:

  • Church Services: Many attend church services to close off the holy celebration of Easter.
  • Feasting: After the period of Lent, families prepare special meals and share feasts that often include fresh seafood given Kiribati's island geography.
  • Picnics and Outings: Families may take advantage of the public holiday to go on picnics or spend time by the beach.
  • Sports and Games: Villages or communities may organize sports events or games for children and adults alike to participate in.
  • Cultural Performances: In some areas, there might be cultural dances or performances celebrating both their heritage and religious beliefs.

Overall, while maintaining its religious significance, Easter Monday provides an opportunity for relaxation, fellowship, and enjoyment within communities across Kiribati's many islands.
