Today is Easter Monday!
Easter Monday has been a national holiday in the United Kingdom for many centuries, as it has been in other Christian countries. It is a day that has been set aside to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, which is an important event in the Christian faith.

The exact origins of Easter Monday as a public holiday in the UK are unclear, but it is likely that it has been celebrated in some form for many centuries. In the past, Easter Monday was often marked with religious ceremonies and activities, such as church services and processions.

Over time, Easter Monday has also become a day for secular celebrations, such as Easter egg hunts and other activities.

In the United Kingdom, Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday, which is a public holiday. It is a bank holiday in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which means that most people have the day off work and schools are closed. It is not a public holiday in Scotland, but many businesses and organizations may choose to give their employees the day off anyway.
