Easter Sunday, Mass of the Day (April 5th) – Resurrection of the Lord (Saint Peter’s Square, 10:15 a.m.). Mass celebrated in the morning will be the most followed one. At noon the Pope delivers the blessing known as the Urbi et Orbi (to the City and to the World) in the central loggia of the Vatican Basilica.
Pasquetta: the Monday following Easter Sunday, Lunedì dell’Angelo (Angel’s Monday or Easter Monday), is celebrated as a holiday in Italy, but much more jovial than the other solemn Easter week events. For Italians is common to have a picnic or barbeque and to head out of town into the countryside or to the seaside. At Castel Sant’Angelo, a huge fireworks display over the Tiber river ends the Easter week celebrations.
