The day after Pessach, Sukkoth and Shavuoth is called Isru Chag. That would be yesterday (Tuesday) in Israel and today (Wednesday) everywhere else.
Various reasons are given for Isru Chag after Pessach and Sukkoth.
Isru Chag of Shavuoth is of biblical origin; if Shavuoth is on Shabbat then the festive sacrifices (Chagiga and Re'iya) are brought to the Bet Hamikdash on the day after Shavuoth.
On Isru Chag the custom is to eat a larger meal than usual.
Nobody - not even a bride and groom on their wedding day, nor a Yahrzeit - may fast on Isru Chag.
One does not say Tachanun on Isru Chag.
Some communities don't say Lamenatze'ach (before Uvo L'zion in Shacharis) on Isru Chag.
