Overview
- Good Friday, observed on April 18, 2025, commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is a day of mourning, penance, and fasting for Christians worldwide.
- The day is not a federal holiday in the U.S., meaning federal offices, schools, and postal services will remain open, with normal operations confirmed by USPS.
- Major banks, including Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Citibank, will also operate as usual, along with shipping services from UPS and FedEx.
- The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and U.S. bond markets will close on Good Friday, resuming operations the following Monday, April 21.
- Easter Sunday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, follows on April 20, concluding the Christian Holy Week and the Paschal Triduum.
