The most common Christian religious holidays that are observed in the United States are Christmas Day and Easter Sunday, where most business are closed or close early. Other observed holidays are the Advent season, Christmas Eve, the Lenten season, Good Friday, and Palm Sunday. Kwanzaa, Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), Yom Kippur, Muharram (beginning of the Islamic liturgical year).

There are many different recognized religious holidays, though it seems that if that isn’t your religion, you don’t take much notice of when those holidays fall. You should be able to negotiate with your employer for time off to observe religious holidays that are important to you. Most employees do not have to work Christmas or Easter, but may want to take a day off work for another important religious holiday.

Speak with your boss and see if you can come to an agreement. For instance, if you are Jewish, you will receive two paid holidays off and if you choose to observe additional holidays, you may take the day off, but will have to use a vacation day or you will have to take an unpaid day. Our country is so diverse, employers have to take this into account.
