Two GOP lawmakers are pushing to make Easter Monday a federal holiday. They say it would honor faith while helping families and workers. The proposal comes amid growing calls to protect America’s Christian traditions.
Senator Eric Schmitt and Congressman Riley Moore argue Easter Monday deserves federal recognition. They point out 81% of Americans celebrate Easter already. Making the Monday after Easter a holiday would let families focus on faith without rushing back to work.
This isn’t just about religion—it’s about preserving Western civilization. Countries like Australia and Canada already honor Easter Monday. Schmitt says America should follow their lead to strengthen our shared heritage.
Workers would get a three-day weekend to spend with loved ones. That extra day could boost the economy by $2 billion. Families could shop, travel, or attend church events without stressing about jobs.
Critics claim it’s unnecessary, but supporters say it fills a gap. March and April have no federal holidays right now. Hardworking Americans deserve a spring break to recharge their bodies and souls.
The bill honors Christ’s resurrection, the foundation of Christian belief. Schmitt calls Easter “the most extraordinary day in world history.” A federal holiday would remind people of faith’s central role in our nation’s success.
Polls show most Americans back the idea. Parents want time to teach kids the true meaning of Easter. Workers tired of endless grind demand a break that respects their values.
This is common sense, not radical. Patriots know faith and family built America. Giving families a Monday off to celebrate resurrection isn’t just smart—it’s righteous. Washington should pass this bill fast.
