United States
According to the official holiday calendar of the federal government, the country does not recognize any day of Holy Week as a holiday, but some states do. Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, and Tennessee observe Good Friday as a state holiday. In Texas it’s an optional holiday.
Uruguay
This South American country, situated between Brazil and Argentina on the Atlantic, does not commemorate Holy Week either. Its 1917 secular constitution states in Article 5 that “the State does not support any religion.” However, Holy Week is called Tourism Week, with Holy Thursday and Good Friday being official days off.
Cuba
The communist-governed island doesn’t recognize Easter. However, in accordance with Article 100 of Law 116 of the Labor Code, the government has declared “Good Friday of each year as a day of work recess.”
