Is this definite? They've been suggesting a fixed Easter date for years.
Actually, I don't think it would cause too much of a hassle. Good Friday has been a working day for years now, and I suppose anyone who takes his religion seriously enough to wish to follow the Stations of the Cross at church would simply take the Friday off.
However, a further question. Would Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, not being civil holidays stay on the religious calendar; I'd guess, yes.
