2019年的复活节在4月21日，然而在很多国家，复活节前的受难日、复活节后的周一也均为假期。各国对于复活节到底是怎样的庆祝的?各国又是怎么放复活节假期的呢?

　　In countries where Christianity is a state religion, or where the country has large Christian population, Easter is often a public holiday. As Easter is always a Sunday, many countries in the world also have Easter Monday as a public holiday. Some retail stores, shopping malls, and restaurants are closed on Easter Sunday. Good Friday, which occurs two days before Easter Sunday, is also a public holiday in many countries, as well as in 12 U.S. states. Even in states where Good Friday is not a holiday, many financial institutions, stock markets, and public schools are closed. Few banks that are normally open on regular Sundays are closed on Easter.

　　在以基督教为主的国家，或拥有大量基督徒的国家，复活节都被定为一个公众假期。又因为复活节总是在周日，很多国家就将复活节后的周一设立为公共假日，称为复活节周一(Easter Monday)，比如加拿大、英国等。复活节当天，一些商店、购物中心、餐馆会选择休业。在复活节前的周五被称为受难日，也在很多国家被定为公共假期，如美国有12个州这天放假。即使在那些未把这天当做公共假期的州里，很多商业机构、股票市场、公立学校也会关门。那些周日开门的极少数银行也会在复活节当天休息。

　　In the Nordic countries Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are public holidays, and Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays. In Denmark, Iceland and Norway Maundy Thursday is also a public holiday. It is a holiday for most workers except some shopping malls which keep open for a half-day. Many businesses give their employees almost a week off, called Easter break.Schools are closed between Palm Sunday and Easter Monday. According to a 2014 poll, 6 of 10 Norwegians travel during Easter, often to a countryside cottage; 3 of 10 said their typical Easter included skiing.

　　在北欧国家，受难日、复活节、复活节周一均为公共假期，并且受难日和复活节周一还是银行假日。此外，在丹麦、冰岛、挪威，复活节前的周四同样是法定假期，这天被称为濯足节(Maundy Thursday)。甚至一些公司会直接给员工一周的假期，统称为复活节假期。公立学校则是从复活节的上一个周日棕枝主曰(Palm Sunday)开始一直放假到复活节周一。根据2014年进行的一项调查，60%的挪威人会选择在复活节出游，通常会去乡村别墅;30%的人表示他们的复活节假期常常包含滑雪这项活动。
