Of the four days, Easter Monday was my favorite. Though we weren't allowed to work, it wasn't a day of fasting. If we weren't invited to someone's house, and didn't have anyone invited to our house we children would often go hiking.
A well known hiking/biking trail is near our house. It doesn't see a lot of use by the Amish, but with today being Easter Monday I expect to see a number of groups of Amish youth passing our house to go hiking.
I had never heard of celebrating Easter Monday until your blog. How interesting. I hope lots of people are out enjoying the beautiful creation that God has blessed us with today.

Just as I suspected....... quite a few Amish passed our house to go hiking on the trail. :)
DeleteI've also never heard of Easter Monday! Very cool :)
ReplyDeleteOur calendar actually states.... Easter Monday (Canada) Now I'm wondering how Canadians observe the day.
DeleteI'd guess it's a legal holiday. Our library and schools in Maryland are closed, but the Post Office is open.
