Late March or early April - Good Friday

This is a statutory holiday. The actual date for Good Friday changes from year to year because it occurs on the Friday after the appearance of the first full moon after the spring equinox (March 21). This holiday is to commemorate the day that Christians believe that Jesus was crucified and died for the sins of humanity. Canadians who are Christian may attend a religious service on this day.
