The Good Friday date is determined according to Easter Sunday which is the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.

Overview

  • Good Friday, April 18, 2025, is not a federal holiday, so federal offices, USPS, and most schools will remain open with normal operations.
  • USPS will provide regular mail delivery and retail services on Good Friday, but only Priority Mail Express will operate on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.
  • Major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citibank, will be open on Good Friday but follow typical Sunday closures on Easter Sunday; Capital One will operate both days as usual.
  • UPS and FedEx will maintain normal pickup, delivery, and store operations on Good Friday, but only UPS Express Critical and FedEx Custom Critical services will be available on Easter Sunday.
  • Consumers are advised to plan ahead for banking, mail, and shipping needs due to limited services on Easter Sunday and varying schedules for private businesses.
