Catholic Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday on the Western calendar. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Lebanon it is listed as a holiday for the Catholic community, in the same way that the Orthodox communities have their own Easter holidays on the Orthodox date. It continues the Easter celebration, with Mass in the morning and, for many families, visits and a shared meal. The date follows the Western Easter, which falls on a different day from the Orthodox Easter in most years, so both countries often have two separate Easter periods, one for each major Christian community; in 2027 Catholic Easter Monday is on 29 March and Orthodox Easter Monday on 3 May.
The Gospel reading in the current Catholic Mass for the day is Matthew 28:8-15, in which the women who left the tomb meet the risen Jesus, while in Lutheran churches the day is linked with the walk to Emmaus, in which two disciples meet the risen Jesus without recognising him until he breaks bread with them. In many countries the day is spent with relatives, in the countryside or on short trips, and regions have folk customs of their own, which in Central Europe include sprinkling with water or switching with willow branches.
