Whit Monday, also known as Pentecost Monday, is a Christian holiday celebrated the day after Pentecost, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. In Senegal, a predominantly Muslim country, Whit Monday is recognized as a public holiday due to the nation's commitment to secularism and respect for religious diversity.
The origins of Whit Monday date back to early Christianity and it has been observed by various Christian denominations. In Senegal, the Christian community, mainly Roman Catholic, observes this day with religious fervor. The traditions often mirror those from other parts of the world where Christianity is practiced.
