Federal government declares public holidays for easter celebration
I think there may be some confusion here!
In the United States, the federal government does not declare public holidays for Easter specifically. However, Easter is a federal holiday in the United States, which means that all non-essential federal government offices, including federal courts, are closed on Easter Sunday.
Additionally, many state and local governments, as well as private businesses and schools, may also observe Easter as a holiday or half-day holiday. However, the specific dates and observance of Easter holidays can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
It's worth noting that the federal government does declare public holidays for certain dates, such as:
- New Year's Day (January 1st)
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day (third Monday in January)
- Presidents' Day (third Monday in February)
- Memorial Day (last Monday in May)
- Independence Day (July 4th)
- Labor Day (first Monday in September)
- Columbus Day (second Monday in October)
- Veterans Day (November 11th)
- Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November)
- Christmas Day (December 25th)
These holidays are typically observed by all federal agencies, including federal offices, courts, and banks.
