Good Friday?  How quaint.

Good Friday's big in Australia too. Not sure about the mainland, but
in Tasmania the two biggest holidays of the year were/are Christmas
Day and Good Friday. Good Friday isn't even a holiday in the
Netherlands.

A lot of school systems fold it into their "spring break".  For
a while the company I worked for had a Catholic CEO who made it
a holiday for us.  His successor stopped that and gave it to us
around one of the summer holidays (late May, early July, or
early September), resulting in a three-day weekend.  Most people
deemed that more useful.

The company I worked for gave us Good Friday off.  Then we
were sold and G. F. was taken away but the Friday after
Thanksgiving was added giving workers a 4-day holiday.  If
I was working the T-F-S shift, day or night, I'd take Saturday
off and it would turn it into a two weeks off.
