If the weather's good, spend some time with the family at the beach – it's a bucket of fun. If you're in Eleuthera, check out the Palmetto Point Homecoming - dance and party with the locals, and enjoy delicious native food. Ask for fried snapper, and crab and rice. For the fishing enthusiast, you may want to check out the action the Bahamas Classic Tuna tournament. will generate – especially at the weighing in. The Whit Monday holiday originates from the Christian festival of Pentecost (also known as Whit Sunday). Pentecost is observed on the seventh Sunday after Easter. According to Christian teachings, the Holy Spirit visited the disciples and inspired them to go out and preach the word of Christ on Pentecost. There are different customs associated with Whit Monday. In the south west of England you can see cheese rolling and throwing competitions.
