Semana Santa Closing Will Save
Government Millions
Public sector
employees will be off work
between March 20 and March 27
for the Easter holidays known as
"Semana Santa" - Holy Week.
The government announced
yesterday that all public
insitutions will close at the
end of the day Friday March 19
and re-open Monday March 28.
The 10 day holiday will save the
government some ˘600 million
colones (us$1.275.000 dollars)
Banks have not announced their
hours for the Semana Santa, as
stores and private businesses.
This year Easter Sunday is March
27, but in Costa Rica as in most
of Latin America, Thursday and
Friday during Semana Santa are
the holiest of days.
