About Easter Monday

Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday. Western churches date Easter by the Gregorian calendar: Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that falls on or after 21 March, so Easter Monday falls between 23 March and 26 April.

It is a bank holiday in England and Wales and in Northern Ireland, but not in Scotland, where the spring holidays are Good Friday and the early May bank holiday. It is a public holiday in Ireland, in every Australian State and in New Zealand. In Canada it is not one of the general holidays of the Canada Labour Code, and Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta do not list it as a statutory holiday; in Quebec an employer may give Easter Monday instead of Good Friday, while this site counts Good Friday there. The United States has no federal Easter holiday. In continental Europe this site counts it in most countries, including Austria, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands, while Estonia, Malta and Portugal do not have it. In Spain it is a holiday only in some regions: Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, Navarre, the Basque Country and La Rioja hold it in both 2026 and 2027, and Castilla–La Mancha in 2026 only, so the table here, which shows the regions that hold it every year, leaves Castilla–La Mancha out. In Switzerland it is counted in 15 of the 26 cantons; in nine others it is a customary day off, a holiday of some districts or municipalities only, or a cantonal holiday not equal to a Sunday, so this site lists it there without counting it. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece and Romania keep the Monday after Orthodox Easter, which falls on a different date and is shown on the Orthodox Easter page.

As a Monday, Easter Monday never needs a substitute day. Where Good Friday is also a holiday the two make a four-day weekend. Scotland keeps a working Monday after Easter, so the Easter week in Edinburgh has one more working day than in London or Belfast, and Ireland has the Monday but not the Friday.
