Asking why banks don’t celebrate Easter and Good Friday is like asking why police stations don’t celebrate George Floyd Day
Dumb take, but I agree it should be holiday just like the banks in Nola shut down for Mardi Gras.

Separation of church and state was cherished by our founders.
Also, Easter is on a Sunday.

Many financial institutions use the NYSE trading days as the official holiday schedule fwiw. Good Friday is always included NYSE:Holidays and Trading Hours

If this is of true importance to you, then sacrifice your vacation days and celebrate. Thus, you can show others that you hold these days sacred. You could example?

My firm still has Good Friday as a Holiday, for now. Things are slowing becoming more and more corporate but worst case I'd expect them to just make it a floating holiday day. Where you can take good friday off or use anyday as your "floating holiday.

Easter is on a Sunday. Sunday is not a work day so there is no need to make it a work holiday. Have no idea why Good Friday is not though.

Sunday is not a work day so there is no need to make it a work holiday.

My company observes Good Friday. In fact, I have a 4 day weekend this weekend because of the holiday. We work a 9/80 schedule which means I have every other Friday off. This Friday is my 9/80 off so the company gave us tomorrow off in observance of Good Friday.

Good Friday is a good day to suffer at work. Easter Monday should be a holiday to eat all the candy the Easter bunny brings.

Sorry, “bank holiday” is a term used more around the world to reflect “day off” (govt recognized official day off).
