        "summary": "The Indonesian government has confirmed through a joint ministerial decree that there will be no collective leave for Easter in 2026, with the commemoration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on 5 April designated solely as a national holiday. However, a three-day long weekend will still be available from 3 to 5 April, encompassing the national holiday for the Death of Jesus Christ on Friday, the weekend, and Easter Sunday. This arrangement allows the public to enjoy extended rest without an additional collective holiday, aligning with the official 2026 calendar for work and public services.",
        "content": "<p>The Day of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, or Easter, will soon be\ncommemorated at the beginning of April 2026. In connection with this,\nmany members of the public are seeking information regarding red-letter\ndates for national holidays and their collective leaves.<\/p>\n<p>The government has established the schedule for national holidays and\ncollective leaves for 2026 through a Joint Ministerial Decree (SKB) of 3\nMinisters. To determine whether there is a collective leave for Easter\n2026 and the holiday schedule for April, here is the complete\nexplanation.<\/p>\n<p>No Collective Leave for Easter 2026<\/p>\n<p>The government has not designated a collective leave for the Easter\ncelebration in 2026. This provision is stated in the SKB of 3 Ministers\nNumber 1497 of 2025, Number 2 of 2025, and Number 5 of 2025 on National\nHolidays and Collective Leaves for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to those provisions, the commemoration of the Resurrection\nof Jesus Christ or Easter on Sunday, 5 April 2026, is designated as a\nnational holiday without a collective leave. The government has only\nestablished a national holiday for that religious commemoration as a\nguideline for work schedules and public services throughout 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Holiday Schedule and Long Weekend in April<\/p>\n<p>Although there is no collective leave for Easter 2026, the public can\nstill enjoy an extended holiday during the Easter celebration week. This\nis because there are two national holidays adjacent to the weekend that\nare also related to the commemoration.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the holiday schedule and long weekend at the beginning of\nApril 2026:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Friday, 3 April 2026: Death of Jesus Christ (national\nholiday)<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Saturday, 4 April 2026: Weekend<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Sunday, 5 April 2026: Resurrection of Jesus Christ (national\nholiday)<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This sequence of dates forms a three-day consecutive long weekend\nduring the Easter week. The national holiday for the Death of Jesus\nChrist on Friday and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday provides\nlonger rest time for the public.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the collective leave for Easter 2026 is not available in the\nofficial government calendar. Those planning holidays can still take\nadvantage of the long weekend from 3 to 5 April 2026 according to the\nnational holiday schedule set by the government.<\/p>",
