What Holiday is 3 April 2026? It Could Extend into a Long Weekend

Planning a holiday in April 2026? Travelling at the beginning of the month could be the right choice, given there are two red-letter days. These two public holidays refer to the provisions in the Joint Decree (SKB) of Three Ministers, signed by the Minister of Religious Affairs, the Minister of Manpower, and the Minister for State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform. Meanwhile, 5 April falls on a Sunday, which is a regular weekend holiday. So, what holiday is 3 April 2026? The government has set 3 April 2026 as a red-letter public holiday in commemoration of the Death of Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, the red-letter day on 5 April 2026 is the commemoration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Easter). These two red-letter days are separated by one day, and the intervening day that is not a red-letter day is a weekend holiday. Therefore, there are a total of three consecutive holiday days that can be extended into a long weekend. Here are the details: In addition to these three days, there are four regular Sundays: on 5, 12, 19, and 26 April 2026.
