This led to the cross is a symbol for the Christian faith. Good Friday is a day reserved for repenting sins and mourning for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Various countries will hold a procession or church service in honor of the special Christian calendar day. Some of which will have a volunteer carry a big wooden cross. It is also a known tradition to eat hot cross buns during this time around Easter. Others will use this time to fast or eat fish. Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday, which is a public holiday in some countries, as Easter Sunday is already a non-working day.
Therefore to understand the importance of Easter Monday, we will have to understand the importance of Easter Sunday first. This day also marks the end of Lent for Christians after they have completed their 40 day period of fasting, penance, and prayers.

Seven of the disciples, uncertain as to their next steps, returned to Galilee and went fishing.
They caught nothing until Jesus appeared in the morning and filled their nets with fish. They were still trying to wrap their minds around a resurrected Jesus. Luke , NIV He gave them the certain proof they needed. He showed them his hands and feet and encouraged them to touch him. Jesus lovingly came to him and told him to touch his healing wounds and believe. Our post-resurrection life is a journey that is similar to that of the early believers.
It begins with Jesus calling our name, giving us the gift of the Holy Spirit, and meeting us in our unbelief and disobedience. God resurrected Jesus from the dead so we can enjoy eternal life with him in heaven. But it also assures us of a resurrected eternal life that begins now, not just for the future. The same Holy Spirit power that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside us right at this moment.
