<Li> Note that in the Catholic liturgical calendar, saints' feasts are not observed when they fall during Holy Week; this caused Saint Patrick not to appear in the liturgical calendar for 2008; 17 March was simply celebrated as Holy Monday . In Ireland, the Church chose to celebrate Saint Patrick on Saturday 15 March instead . </Li> <Li> In Australia, ANZAC Day is a public holiday on 25 April . In 2000 and 2011, this created a five - day weekend over Easter: in 2000, Easter Monday fell on 24 April, with Easter Tuesday, 25 April, then being ANZAC Day; in 2011, ANZAC Day and Easter Monday coincided on Monday 25 April, which led to a substitute public holiday being declared for Tuesday 26 April . In 2003 and 2014, ANZAC Day fell on Easter Friday, and in 2019 it will fall on Easter Thursday, and in 2038 it will fall on Easter Sunday; the consequence is three - day working weeks immediately following the Easter weekend . </Li> <P> Easter is not a federal holiday in the United States . In North Carolina, however, it was a public holiday from 1935 to 1987 . </P>
