Is it when they nailed him up (tomorrow)? Or when he came back and said "I'm alright actually lads, not a bother at all" (Sunday)? And what is Easter Monday for?

When are you meant to give Easter Eggs, anyway?

I thought he was dead for three days and the stone was rolled away and he rose again, which would make it Monday. The gospels though are not clear. Some are reference o “three days and three nights” others say “on the third day “ so it could be Sunday or Monday when Jesus rose againLast edited by DPDPDPDP; 01-04-2021, 14:40.

The "on the third day" thing is always a bit of an odd one, isn't it? Nobody suggests any normal Sunday is the 'third day' from Friday, yet anyone brought up with the conventional way of viewing the Easter story will automatically be able to hold this bit of doublethink in their head.
Eggs around here seem to be discounted already, at least when I looked in Tesco a night or two ago.
And for what it's worth, I started eating my Mini Eggs yesterday.

it's kind of ambiguous. Does "within seven working days" include the first day?

According to the Wiki page devoted to Good Friday, there are some who take the 3 days/nights thing literally
>>>>Some Baptist congregations,[116] the Philadelphia Church of God,[117] and some non-denominational churches oppose the observance of Good Friday, regarding it as a papist tradition, and instead observe the Crucifixion of Jesus on Wednesday to coincide with the Jewish sacrifice of the Passover Lamb (which some/many Christians believe is an Old Testament pointer to Jesus Christ). A Wednesday Crucifixion of Jesus allows for him to be in the tomb ("heart of the earth") for three days and three nights as he told the Pharisees he would be (Matthew 12:40), rather than two nights and a day (by inclusive counting, as was the norm at that time) if he had died on a Friday.[118][119] Preparation Day (14 Nisan on the Hebrew calendar) – which is the day before Passover (15 Nisan), instead of the Friday morning as the Synoptic Gospels refer to the sabbath and they believe this refers to a "high sabbath" which occurs on feast days, and not the ordinary weekly sabbath.<<<<
But most people interpret the gospels as died on Friday, still dead Saturday (although no one checked as it was the Shabbat), stone rolled away and no Jesus Sunday morning when the two Marys went to check.
And I wouldn't bank on there being any left over chocolate on the Monday - certainly my company always runs out - we received a final shipment of 8 pallets this morning, which were all gone by lunchtime.
And the answer to the OP is "at Easter".

It's Big Friday today (in both Hungarian and Romanian - though to add a bit of complexity today is not Big Friday to most Romanians, who are Orthodox and will be Bigging it up 4 weeks from now) so have either a good Big Friday or a big Good Friday.
In Bulgarian (though see above re orthodoxers) it apparently is called Crucified Friday which somehow manages to be both prosaic and graphic

"Easter Monday" isn't a thing. Good Friday is not a day for celebrating, you blasphemous scum. The eggs are for Easter Sunday.

There's appears to be an egg shortage round my way.
Usually the shelves are bursting with easter eggs and those Lindt rabbits until a week after Easter.
Went food shopping last night so I was going to get the cub an egg then.
None in Waitrose. Literally none.
One broken one in the Co-op
One vegan egg and one kit kat peanut butter (bleugh) in Tesco metro.
I didn't dare try Diddlydee as 3 shops worth of covid exposure was quite enough and they probably only sell "Chocolike" or "Mockolate" eggs or some other sort of chocolate flavoured artificial polymer substance.
