On Good Friday (April 26) they will open at 1 p.m. and close at 7 p.m. so that workers can attend church services, while on Holy Saturday (April 27), they will open at 9 a.m. and close at 3 p.m. for the same reason.

No stores or supermarkets will be open on Easter Sunday and the following Monday, April 28 and 29.
