USA: We are a proud Christian nation 🥰✝️

But jesus didn't die so you can slack around. Back to work 😤😡

- Jesus was killed on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. If he can go back to work after being crucified you can after eating too much ham

  I need this as a motivational poster

- The US is not a proud christian nation, the constitution explicitly says it.

  Oh. The rhetoric of some of their politicians gave me a different impression.

  It's actually the Treaty of Tripoli that lays that out explicitly

- We no longer have kings, so Jesus is the CEO of CEOs now.

Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year's Day that we need the day after off too.

Rest of the UK: heh, OK, so you can work on Easter Monday instead

Yes well, I’m off to my Canadian workplace this morning.

Only federal employees get it off or some such nonsense.

- Holidays vary by province and some businesses don't need to respect them.
  
  Both are a holiday at the federal level (so for public servants and companies under federal jurisdiction like banks) and it's either good Friday or Easter Monday in Quebec (at the employer's discretion), otherwise I think it's good Friday for all other provinces and territories and Easter Monday isn't a default holiday anywhere that's under provincial jurisdiction.

Me: wait, none of the Eastern European countries have Easter Monday off? Are they more secular than I thought?

Me, five minutes later: oh right, Eastern Orthodox calendar

Canada is weird. Easter is a stat holiday, but the employer can either give you the Friday OR the Monday off. Sadly... mine picked Friday

- Most places pick Friday, it’s just Federal employees that have both off.

Technically whole Serbia has the Easter Monday off but it's Julian calendar (Orthodox) Easter. Also every chatolic person has a day off today and one big part of the country has school holiday.

This map is misleading. I'm fairly certain my colleagues in latin america had easter mondays off, and they were all catholic. And speaking of, apparently orthodox easter doesn't count, which leads to even more grey countries.
