Easter Sunday, unlike Christmas and Thanksgiving, is not an official holiday in the United States.

Most non-essential government offices close on federal holidays, and many federal employees are entitled to paid vacation time.

Because Easter falls on a Sunday every year, many banks, schools, and post offices across the country will have different hours or close their doors.

In 12 states, Good Friday is also a state holiday, which means that many courts and other government offices will be closed.

Is Easter Sunday a public holiday in the U.S?

People observe the Easter festival according to their religious beliefs and denominations.

Christians remember Good Friday as the day Jesus Christ died, and Easter Sunday as the day he rose from the dead.

In the United States, youngsters awaken on Easter Sunday to find baskets full of Easter eggs or candy provided by the Easter bunny.
