History and Significance: Easter Monday, known as Antroji Velykų diena or Švento Velykų pirmadienis in Lithuanian, is the day following Easter Sunday. As a predominantly Catholic country, Lithuania has historically attached great importance to Easter celebrations, which mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The entire period is rich with various customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations.
Traditions: One of the unique traditions in Lithuania during Easter is šventinės margučių kovos, which is an egg-knocking game where individuals tap their dyed hard-boiled eggs (margučiai) against each other to see whose egg will remain uncracked the longest.
Another tradition is Velykų Bobos, where people create figures from hay and old clothes representing winter and then throw them into a river or burn them, symbolizing the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Activities: On Easter Monday:
Family Gatherings: Families often come together for a festive meal. Leftovers from Easter Sunday's feast are commonly enjoyed.
Outdoor Activities: People may engage in outdoor activities to enjoy the spring weather, such as picnics or walks in nature.
Visiting Loved Ones: It's customary to visit relatives and friends who were not seen on Easter Sunday.
Religious Observances: Some devout Catholics might attend church services again, as part of the extended celebration of the Easter period.
In modern times, while traditional activities are still observed by many, others treat Easter Monday as an extra day off work to relax and enjoy leisure time with family and friends.
