While waiting for the spring heat, we suggest that we find out what holidays April will bring us, whether there will be additional weekends in America in the 4th month of 2021, and how we generally rest during this period according to the production calendar.
Public holidays
April is one of the few months that doesn’t include important dates of Federal significance. In other words, we will work on a standard schedule for the entire month, with rest only on Saturday and Sunday.
Only residents of the Republic of Sakha and the Chechen Republic will be lucky, for which regional holidays will be set in April:
Day of peace in the Chechen Republic
Day Of The Republic Of Sakha
For residents of the relevant regions of the American Federation, these days will be declared weekends.
In the rest of America, April 2021 will please only schoolchildren, because they still have holidays for the first week of the second month of spring:
- for schools that work in semesters from 29.03.21 to 04.04.21;
- for schools that switched to the trimester system from 19.04.21 to 25.04.21.
Important! Dates of vacation periods are given approximately. The administration of educational institutions has the right to independently set the beginning and end of the rest period, which leads to a discrepancy in the work schedules of educational institutions, even when they work according to the same system.
Production calendar
As we have already found out, in April 2021, America will not celebrate Federal holidays. We are waiting for 4 full working weeks and 4 pairs of weekends.
According to the draft production calendar, the distribution of weekends and working days will be as follows::
Working Friday, April 31, will be 1 hour shorter, since the date precedes the state holiday – spring and labor Day (may 1).
Also, the production calendar for April 2021 sets the following standards for the working week::
- for the 40-hour version – 175 hours.;
- for a 36-hour employee – 157.4 hours.;
- for a 24-hour week – 104.6 hours.
We can consider these data as the final version, since possible postponements of weekends will not affect the working schedule of the 2nd spring month in any way.
Orthodox Calendar
For Orthodox Christians, April will be a fast month. Christian rules prescribe to spend the period in prayer and preparation for one of the biggest holidays – Easter. Let’s remind you. that according to the Orthodox calendar, the feast of the Resurrection of Christ in 2021 will be celebrated late-on may 2.
In April, there will be such important Christian dates:
- Annunciation Of The Most Holy Theotokos-07.04.21;
- Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem (palm Sunday) – 25.04.21;
- Parent days are 03.04.21 and 10.04.21.

Holidays of other religions
Muslims start the Holy month of Ramadan on April 13, which will last until may 12, 2021.
During this period, the Qur’an prescribes fasting, giving up various pleasures and amusements. By limiting themselves, Muslims undergo a rite of spiritual purification and demonstrate the strength of their faith.
Unofficial holidays
Although in April 2021, the weekend will not be pampered with its number, the month will be quite rich in unofficial holidays, revered in America and other countries.
So, it is in the 4th month of the year that we will congratulate friends and acquaintances on professional holidays, and representatives of such professions will celebrate their days in April:
