A public holiday across Vatican City: most employees have the day off.
In 2028 it falls on a Tuesday, 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.
Easter Tuesday is the third day of the Easter festival. It is much less common as a holiday than Easter Monday and appears in only a few places on this site: Vatican City and Nauru, where it follows the Western Easter date, and Cyprus, where it follows the Orthodox date and is listed as a bank holiday. In 2027 it falls on 30 March in Vatican City and Nauru and on 4 May in Cyprus. In the Catholic calendar the week continues to Divine Mercy Sunday, the second Sunday of Easter, and in the Orthodox calendar the week ends the day before Thomas Sunday, so Tuesday is part of the extended celebration.
In the Catholic Church the whole week after Easter is the Octave of Easter, during which each day is celebrated with the rank of a solemnity and has its own Gospel reading about the appearances of the risen Jesus; on the Tuesday it is John 20:11-18, the appearance to Mary Magdalene at the tomb. In the Orthodox Church the week is called Bright Week, a period of festive services in which the Holy Doors of the iconostasis stay open all week and the fasting rules are lifted, with a procession around the church each day.
