Easter in Grenada
Grenada’s Easter Monday sits within a wider Christian observance. The Embassy of Grenada describes Holy Week services beginning on Holy Thursday, continuing through Good Friday, and culminating in the commemoration of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Easter Monday follows that Sunday as a public holiday.[1]
The official material consulted confirms this religious context and the holiday’s place after Easter Sunday. It does not document particular Easter Monday ceremonies, foods, beach outings, sporting gatherings, or regional customs in Grenada, so these should not be assumed to be island-wide traditions.[1]
Legal status and pay
Grenada’s Cabinet Office includes Easter Monday in its official public-holiday list, and the Embassy of Grenada calls it an official public holiday. The laws portal lists Chapter 25 as the Bank Holidays Act; the Cabinet Office calendar also says that when a bank holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed. Easter Monday itself is already a Monday, so that Sunday rule does not alter its usual weekday.[2][3]
Grenada’s Employment Act provides public-holiday pay for qualifying daily-paid workers and sets a minimum rate of twice the hourly wage for overtime worked on a public holiday.[4]
What to expect
The Grenadian embassy says banks and most shops are closed on Easter Monday, though this does not establish that every shop or business closes. Check directly with the office, business or transport provider you plan to use.[1]
