Italian Word of the Day: 'Pasquetta'
From The Local Italy/ thelocal.it

"In Italy Easter Monday is known as Pasquetta, literally 'little Easter'.

You might hear some Catholics refer to it as il Lunedì dell'Angelo ('Angel Monday'), in reference to the story the Gospels tell of an angel appearing to women gathered at Jesus's grave and telling them He had risen.

READ ALSO: Why Italy is on its longest Easter holiday ever

While it has less religious significance than Good Friday (il Venerdì santo) or Easter Sunday (la Domenica di Pasqua or simply Pasqua), unlike either of those holidays, Easter Monday earns Italians a day off.

Monday is Italy's one public holiday over Easter, and with no particular religious ceremonies to attend, it's typical for Italians to take a day trip to the countryside and enjoy the spring weather.

Cosa farete di bello a Pasquetta?
Got anything nice planned for Easter Monday?....."
