Good Friday marks the day that Jesus sacrificed his life for sinners. I don't think it is actually an official public holiday - at least, it never used to be.

No, you're right it isn't.  My husband doesn't get that one.  There's another couple he doesn't get as well.

New Year's day never used to be a public holiday. Years ago, I always had to work on that day. We have the EU to thank for a few of the more recent public holidays - like May Day

I think sometimes you get it in lieu of Easter Sunday. I've always been given it off since I started working.
