    Friday of Holy Week, when Western Christians commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Good Friday is a holiday in some individual counties and municipalities, as well as a state holiday in Connecticut,[156] Delaware,[157] Florida,[158] Hawaii,[159] Indiana,[160] Kentucky,[161] Louisiana,[162] New Jersey,[163] North Carolina,[164] North Dakota,[165] Tennessee[166] and Texas.[167] State and local government offices and courts are closed, as well as state-chartered banks and in these jurisdictions. Federal banks and post offices that are located in buildings that close for Good Friday and Easter will also be closed. Good Friday is also a holiday in U.S. territories of Guam,[168] U.S. Virgin Islands[169] and Puerto Rico.[170] Many public and private schools, colleges, universities and private-sector businesses; and the New York Stock Exchange and financial markets are closed on Good Friday.

    Good Friday Holy Day of Obligation
    Should be a National holiday for a 4 day weekend.

    Surprised it is not a national holiday in "God us with us" USA.

    It is down here.

    Although in the last 5 years there does seem to be a lot more stores open anyway. There was zero businesses open, out of respect, for most of my life.

    Has nothing to do with anyone complaining. Like everything, it's about the almighty dollar

    Parents should pull their kids out of any public school that isn't closed today.

    I wish schools would stay open on religious holidays. In NYC it's like they look for excuses to shut down schools.

    We should bring back public crucifixions. Public hangings and firing squads, too. Very entertaining.
