[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where I come from, Good Friday and Easter Monday are national holidays. What gives in America?[/quote]

Where do you come from?  In America, these have never been national holidays, nor should they be since the Easter holiday proper falls on a Sunday.  Most employers and schools will provide a religious exemption if you want to take Good Friday off from work or school.

I am a Christian and I am sick to death of the whining about this.  All of the Holy Week services outside of the Easter Sunday mass at my church are in the evenings.  There is absolutely no obligation to observe all day; only to participate in services.  If you can't participate in services because your church doesn't hold them outside of work or school hours, then you need to take that up with your church and stop whining on an anonymous forum.  Enough already.[/quote]

Some people are hard-core about Easter.  My parents are crazy busy that week preparing food and going to church and it would be nice a couple days to spend the holiday with our family.  There's nothing wrong with whining about not getting a holiday for it, not everyone gets that many vacation days over the year.  My mom missed a lot of stuff when I was growing up because she had shift work and few vacation days.[/quote]
