First Monday was a short-lived U.S. television midseason replacement drama centered on the U.S.Cyber MondaySupreme Court.

Easter Monday
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michał Elwiro Andriolli - \"Dyngus\"
Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and is celebrated as a holiday in some largely Christian cultures, especially Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox cultures. Easter Monday in the Roman Catholic liturgicalCyber Mondaycalendar is the second day of the octave of Easter Week.
Formerly, the post-Easter festivities involved a week of secular celebration, but this was reduced to one day in the 19th century. Events include egg rolling competitions and, in predominantly Roman Catholic countries, dousing other people with water which traditionally had been blessed with holy water the day before at Easter Sunday Mass and carried home to bless theCyber Mondayhouse and food.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite, Easter Monday is known as Bright Monday or Renewal Monday, and is the second day of Bright Week. The services are exactly the same as on Pascha (Easter Sunday), except that the hymns from the Octoechos are in Tone Two. It is customary to have a Crucession (procession headed by a cross) either after PaschalCyber MondayMatins or after the Paschal Divine Liturgy. It is customarily a day for visiting family and friends. Easter Monday is also the day when the feast day of St. George is celebrated, in years when St George\'s Day (April 23) falls during Holy Week or on Easter Sunday.
Egypt
In Egypt, the ancient festival of Sham El Nessim (Arabic: شم النسيم, literally meaning \"smelling of the breeze\") is celebrated on the CopticCyber Monday(i.e. Eastern) Easter Monday, though the festival dates back to Pharonic times (about 2700 BC). It is celebrated by both Egyptian Christians and Muslims as an Egyptian national holiday rather than as a religious one. Traditional activities include painting eggs, taking meals outdoors, and eating feseekh (fermented mullet).

Dyngus Day or Wet Monday (Polish Śmigus-Dyngus or lany poniedziałek) is the name for Easter Monday in Poland. In the Czech Republic it is called velikonoční pondělí or pomlázka. In Slovakia veľkonočný pondelok (Easter Monday) is called Šibačka/Polievačka or Oblievačka. too. In Hungary Locsolkodás. All countries practice a unique custom on this day.
In Germany, people go out into theCyber Mondayfields early in the morning and hold Easter egg races.[1] For Roman Catholics, Easter Monday is also a Holy Day of Obligation in Germany.[2]
In Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic[3] traditionally, early in the morning boys awake girls by pouring a bucket of water on their head and striking them about the legs with long thin twigs or switches made from willow, birch or decorated tree branches; however, theCyber Mondayearliest documented[citation needed] records of Dyngus Day in Poland are from the 15th century, almost half a millennium after Poland adopted Christianity.
Benedykt Chmielowski in Nowe Ateny cite after \"Carolo Berthold\" that this ritual was already in custom in 750, 250 years before Poland officially adopted Christianity. See religious syncretism.
One theory is that Dyngus originates from the baptism on Easter Monday ofCyber MondayMieszko I (Duke of the Polans, c. 935–992) in 966 AD, uniting all of Poland under the banner of Christianity. Dyngus and Śmigus were twin pagan gods; the former representing water and the moist earth (Dyngus from din gus – thin soup or dingen – nature); and the latter representing thunder and lightning (Śmigus from śmigać or to make a whooshing sound). In this theory, the water tradition is the transformation ofCyber Mondaythe pagan water god into the Christian baptism. The custom of pouring water was an ancient spring rite of cleansing, purification, and fertility. It is alleged that the pagan Poles bickered with nature/Dyngus by means of pouring water and switching with willows to make themselves pure and worthy of the coming year. Others have suggested that the striking tradition is the transformation of the ritual \"slap\" of ChristianCyber Mondayconfirmation. However, still others suggest that the Śmigus tradition is actually simply a youthful recapitulation of a Good Friday Polish tradition, in which parents wake their children with switches from twigs, saying the words of a Lenten prayer \"God\'s wounds\" – \"Boże rany\".
Early, the Dyngus custom was clearly differentiated from śmigus: dyngus was the exchange of gifts (usually eggs, often decorated –Cyber Mondaypisanka pl. pisanki), under the threat of water splashing if one party did not have any eggs ready, while Śmigus referred to the striking.
Later the focus shifted to the courting aspect of the ritual, and young unmarried girls were the only acceptable targets. A boy would sneak into the bedroom of the girl he fancied and awaken her by drenching her with multiple buckets of water. Politics played an important role inCyber Mondayproceedings, and often the boy would get access to the house only by arrangement with the girl\'s mother.
Throughout the day, girls would find themselves the victims of drenchings and leg-whippings, and a daughter who was not targeted for such activities was generally considered to be unattractive and unmarryable in this very coupling-oriented environment.
Most recently, the tradition has changed to become fullyCyber Mondaywater-focused, and the śmigus part is almost forgotten. It is quite common for girls to attack boys just as fiercely. With much of Poland\'s population residing in tall apartment buildings, high balconies are favorite hiding places for young people who gleefully empty buckets of water or more recently throw plastic bags or water balloons onto random passers-by.
Another related custom, unique to Poland is that of sprinklingCyber Mondaybowls (garce) of ashes on people (starts men on women) or houses, celebrated a few weeks earlier at the \"półpoście.\" This custom is almost forgotten, but still practiced in the area around borders of Mazuria and Masovia.

Though not largely observed in the United States, the day remains informally observed in some areas such as the state of North Dakota, and some cities in New York, Michigan, and Indiana. Easter Monday was a public holiday in North Carolina from 1935 to 1987. Texas and Maryland schools often have two holidays on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Traditionally Polish areas of theCyber Mondaycountry such as Chicago, and more recently Cleveland,[4] observe Easter Monday as Dyngus Day.[5][6] In the United States, Dyngus Day celebrations are widespread and popular in Buffalo; Wyandotte and Hamtramck in Michigan; South Bend and La Porte in Indiana; and Hanover, New Hampshire. Wet Monday is also celebrated at Jonathan Edwards College, one of the residential colleges at Yale University, when each year the freshmanCyber Mondayclass storms the college with water weapons, where upperclassmen are ready to defend the college and ensure no one goes home dry.[citation needed]
[edit]Buffalo
The world\'s largest organized Dyngus Day celebration occurs in Buffalo, New York. In Buffalo\'s eastern suburbs and the city\'s Historic Polonia District, Dyngus Day is celebrated with a high level of enthusiasm.
Although Dyngus Day was celebrated in traditionalCyber MondayPolish neighborhoods of Buffalo dating back to the 1870s, modern Dyngus Day in Buffalo had its start with the Chopin Singing Society. Judge Ann T. Mikoll and her late husband Theodore V. Mikoll held the first party at the Society\'s clubrooms in the Buffalo Central Terminal. The Society left the East Side in the 1980s and moved to new clubrooms in nearby Cheektowaga, where the festival attracted a new generation of revelers.Cyber MondayIn recent years, the focus of Buffalo\'s Dyngus Day celebration has returned to the Historic Polonia District in the form of large parties at the Buffalo Central Terminal, St. Stanislaus - Bishop & Martyr Church, the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle, and at many family-owned Polish taverns. The World\'s First Dyngus Day Parade, inaugurated in 2006, makes its way through the Polonia District from the BroadwayCyber MondayMarket to Buffalo Central Terminal. In 2008, the parade attracted more than 25,000 people.[7]
In 2006, two-time Grammy Award nominated Polka band Jerry Darlak & the Touch recorded the \"Everybody\'s Polish on Dyngus Day\" polka. \"The polka is meant to capture the uniqueness of the Buffalo Dyngus Day celebration,\" explained the song\'s composer, Ray Barsukiewicz. Lyrics include references to pussy willows, the sprinklingCyber Mondayof water, polka dancing and parties that last until daylight. That same year, Lenny Gomulka and the Chicago Push released the \"Dyngus Day in Buffalo Polka\" to recognize Buffalo\'s time-honored traditions. Gomulka is regarded as one of the nation\'s premiere polka stars, having been nominated for 11 Grammy Awards.
In 2007, the world\'s oldest working fireboat, the Edward M. Cotter, received the honor of being named theCyber Monday\"World\'s Largest Dyngus Day Squirt Gun\". \"This could explains [sic] why the Cotter is painted red & white,\" said Marty Biniasz, alluding to the colors of the Polish flag and the Cotter\'s current livery. \"It\'s only right that The Dyngus Day Capital of the World should have the World\'s Largest Squirt Gun. We are proud to now make Buffalo\'s most-loved ship part of our Dyngus Day Buffalo tradition.\"
[edit]Indiana
InCyber MondaySouth Bend, Indiana, the day marks the official beginning to launch the year\'s political primary campaign season (particularly among Democrats)- often from within the West Side Democratic Club, the M.R. Falcons Club, and local pubs and fraternal halls. Notable politicos who have celebrated Dyngus Day in South Bend include the late Robert F. Kennedy; former Governor Joe Kernan; Senator Evan Bayh; former Congressman and NewCyber MondayYork University President John Brademas; former Maryland Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend; former Congressman, 9/11 Commission member and current Ambassador to India Timothy J. Roemer; former President Bill Clinton; the famous philanthropist Thomas A. White; and the late Aloysius J. Kromkowski, a long time elected St. Joseph County public servant, for whom the \"Al Kromkowski polka\" is named.[8][9]
Robert F.Cyber MondayKennedy\'s 1968 appearance was marked by his downtown rally attended by a crowd of over 6,000, his participation in the Dyngus Day parade, and his leading of the crowds at the West Side Democratic Club in the traditional Polish well wishing song Sto Lat (phonetic: \'sto laht\') which means \"100 years\". Indiana was RFK\'s first primary and first primary victory, which set in motion momentum and victories that would have ledCyber Mondayto his nomination as the Democratic Party candidate for President had he not been assassinated.[8][9]
Starting in 2004, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana began celebrating Dyngus Day at the request of South Bend students. The event includes free Polish sausage for students as well as a free concert.[8][9]
[edit]North Carolina
The Easter Monday holiday in North Carolina stemmed from the traditionCyber Mondayin the early 20th century of state government workers taking the day off to attend the annual baseball game between North Carolina State College (Now North Carolina State University) and nearby Wake Forest College (now Wake Forest University and moved to Winston-Salem, NC). The holiday was enacted in 1935 and remained until 1988, when the official state holiday was moved to Good Friday to match the rest of theCyber Mondaynation.
[edit]Texas and Southwest
Many Independent and other type School Districts and Higher Education institutions in Texas and other southern and southwestern states do not conduct classes on Easter Monday, although it is not an official State of Texas holiday. Many, but not all Texas School Districts follow this practice. As many of the same Independent School Districts also do not attend classes on Good Friday, aCyber Mondaymini-Spring Break of four days is often the result.
[edit]Elsewhere in the world
In Canada, people eat Easter eggs and enjoy time outdoors.[10] It is a public holiday for many, especially government offices.
In Guyana, people fly kites, which are made on Holy Saturday.
In Leicestershire, England the people of Hallaton hold a bottle-kicking match and Hare Pie Scramble.[11]
In the Netherlands, people eat a festiveCyber Mondaybreakfast and go hiking or cycling in the countryside.[12]
