      Jesus was killed on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. If he can go back to work after being crucified you can after eating too much ham

          I believe the Treaty of Tripoli reinforces the First Amendment and helps to clarity its intentions.

            Fair enough. The fact that it was passed within 10 years of the constitution passing, unanimously by the US senate, helps that interpretation a lot too.

    Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year’s Day that we need the day after off too.

    Rest of the UK: heh, OK, so you can work on Easter Monday instead

    Yes well, I’m off to my Canadian workplace this morning.

    Only federal employees get it off or some such nonsense.

      Holidays vary by province and some businesses don’t need to respect them.

      Both are a holiday at the federal level (so for public servants and companies under federal jurisdiction like banks) and it’s either good Friday or Easter Monday in Quebec (at the employer’s discretion), otherwise I think it’s good Friday for all other provinces and territories and Easter Monday isn’t a default holiday anywhere that’s under provincial jurisdiction.

    Canada is weird. Easter is a stat holiday, but the employer can either give you the Friday OR the Monday off. Sadly… mine picked Friday

    Me: wait, none of the Eastern European countries have Easter Monday off? Are they more secular than I thought?

    Me, five minutes later: oh right, Eastern Orthodox calendar

    Technically whole Serbia has the Easter Monday off but it’s Julian calendar (Orthodox) Easter. Also every chatolic person has a day off today and one big part of the country has school holiday.

    This map is misleading. I’m fairly certain my colleagues in latin america had easter mondays off, and they were all catholic. And speaking of, apparently orthodox easter doesn’t count, which leads to even more grey countries.
