What's open Easter 2025? Here's what to know about banks, post offices, UPS and FedEx

Easter is less than 48 hours away, marking one of the most important days of the year in the Christian faith.

The holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and follows a 40-day period known as Lent. While the holiday falls on April 20 this year, the date it is celebrated changes from year to year because it is one of several "movable feasts" in the liturgical year, according to the History Channel.

Some retail, restaurant and grocery store chains will be closed on April 20 this year in celebration of the holiday, and that will be the case for banks, post offices and shipping services as well.

If you're looking to execute a banking transaction or mail a package this weekend, you may want to do it before Sunday, as most banks, post offices and shipping services will be closed on the holiday. Here's what you need to know.
