Catholic Activity: Visiting Day
In Paschaltide joy, perform works of mercy toward the sick and elderly on Easter Monday.
DIRECTIONS
For Easter Monday there is an old custom, still very much alive in the old country, which might well be duplicated here, even though Easter Monday is not generally a holiday, as it is in Europe. In honor of the Gospel of the day, which tells of the two disciples who went to Emmaus and met Our Lord on the way, Easter Monday became a visiting day. Wherever there are old or sick people, they are visited by young and old.
