It is often celebrated on the Sunday after Easter (sometimes known as “Bright Sunday”) —is designed to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with joy, laughter, and playfulness, focusing on the theme that God had the “last laugh” on the devil. It is a revival of an ancient Christian tradition where communities celebrated the victory over death, treating the resurrection as a joyous, divine surprise. Everyone needs a good laugh once in a while. The second Sunday of the Easter Season is the perfect time for worshipers to laugh together as a growing number of congregations celebrate Holy Humour Sunday.
