The government has designated Friday, April 3, and Monday, April 6, 2026 as official public holidays in honour of Easter.
The two days, which fall on Good Friday and Easter Monday, respectively, shall be honoured countrywide as public holidays, according to a statement released on March 30 and signed by Interior Minister Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak.
The proclamation makes it possible for Christians across to commemorate one of the most important times on the liturgical calendar—the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This year’s Good Friday, which falls on April 3, represents the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Easter Monday, which falls on April 6, carries on the festivities that follow Easter Sunday.
The notification from the Interior Ministry guarantees that, in compliance with Ghana’s legal obligations, public institutions, companies, and employees coordinate their calendars in observance of the holidays.
Church services, family get-togethers, and social activities are customarily held throughout the nation during the Easter season. Large crowds are anticipated in larger cities like Kwahu for the yearly celebrations.
As Christians consider the importance of the season, the Minister asked the people to observe the holidays in compliance with the law.
