Is Easter Monday Considered a Federal Holiday?
Easter is one of those holidays that just feels happy. Maybe it's the religious history behind the day, the sweet Easter desserts that we devour every year, or the festive decorations that help us get into the spirit. Even seeing the Drummonds get together for the holiday brings us joy! Whatever the case is, we love celebrating on Easter Sunday! But what about Easter Monday?
There are plenty of people and religious groups who use the day after Easter to sit back and commemorate the sacrifices of Jesus Christ. While most of the Easter traditions and celebrations happen on Easter Sunday, the following day can hold just as much importance to some.
But is Easter Monday considered a federal holiday, too? Federal holidays usually see banks and some government-official organizations closing shop, so you ought to be prepared if that's the case! Here's everything you should know about Easter Monday.
Is Easter Monday a federal holiday?
Nope! At least not in America. It might help to know that Easter Sunday is sort of like Good Friday in the sense that it may be traditionally celebrated by those who follow Christian-based faith, but is not officially considered a federal holiday in the grand scheme of things. In fact, there are actually only 11 days that are registered as public holidays within Federal law.
This isn't to say that you can't celebrate it! It just means that you'll be able to go to a bank if you choose to. 😂
