A public holiday across Bosnia & Herzegovina: most employees have the day off.
In 2034 it falls on a Friday, a working day.
The date changes from year to year.
Saturday and Sunday · A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.
Orthodox Good Friday, called Great and Holy Friday in the Orthodox churches, commemorates the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. It is the most solemn day of the Orthodox year. The Divine Liturgy is not celebrated, clergy wear black, and the services consist of long readings, the taking down of the body of Christ from the cross, and an evening procession in which the epitaphios, a cloth icon of Christ's body lying in a decorated bier that represents the tomb, is carried around the church. The services of Holy Friday follow those of Holy Thursday evening, when the Twelve Passion Gospels are read.
Many observant Orthodox Christians fast strictly on this day, taking little or no food until evening, and in some countries it is traditional not to do housework or cook. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Lebanon, the two places where the site lists it, the day is recognised for the Orthodox community, with the faithful gathering for the evening procession. In churches, believers bow beneath or kiss the epitaphios as it lies in the centre of the church. In 2027 the day falls on 30 April, and Western Good Friday was a month earlier, on 26 March.
