Easter Monday in Canada is the Monday following the Easter. Easter Monday is listed in the Canada Labour Code as a Easter Monday Holiday and is celebrated as a statutory holiday in most parts of Canada, except for British Columbia. Christians have celebrated Easter Monday immediately following Easter - which is one of the most important holy days in the Christian church. People would add fragrant oil or perfume to the Easter Monday water that they brought home from church, and then use this water to sprinkle and bless their food, pets, gardens, and homes.
On Easter Monday morning, men would wake their wives with a spritz of the perfumed Easter water as they whispered, "May you never wither." On Easter Tuesday, women would return the favor as they awakened their husbands with a bucketful of the scented water!
Easter Bunny and Easter egg are main symbols for Easter Holiday.
