About Good Friday

Good Friday marks the crucifixion of Jesus and is always the Friday before Easter Sunday. Western churches date Easter by the Gregorian calendar: Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that falls on or after 21 March. Easter Sunday therefore falls between 22 March and 25 April, and Good Friday between 20 March and 23 April.

Good Friday is a public holiday in all three parts of the United Kingdom, in every Australian State, in New Zealand and in Canada, where the Canada Labour Code lists it for federally regulated workplaces and Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta list it as a statutory holiday. In Quebec the Act respecting labour standards lets the employer choose Good Friday or Easter Monday; this site counts Good Friday. Good Friday is not a public holiday in Ireland and is not a federal holiday in the United States. Across continental Europe this site counts it in many countries, including Germany and the Nordic countries, and in 24 of the 26 Swiss cantons, all but Ticino and Valais, but it is not general: in France it applies only in Alsace-Moselle. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece and Romania date Easter, and so Good Friday, by the Orthodox calendar. Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania count the Orthodox Good Friday; in Greece it is not a mandatory holiday for private employers, so this site lists it there without counting it. Their Easter dates are on the Orthodox Easter page, not here.

Because Good Friday is always a Friday, it never needs a substitute day and always removes one working day from March or April. Together with Easter Monday, where that is also a holiday, it gives a four-day weekend, and taking the four working days after Easter Monday stretches the break to ten days for four days of leave.
