Is Easter Monday a federal holiday? Are banks open today? Here's what to know.

Easter Monday marks the end of the Easter holiday weekend in the U.S., raising the question of whether it's also a federal holiday. 

While Easter Monday, celebrated on April 21 this year, is a significant religious holiday, it's not one of the 11 federally recognized holidays, which range from New Year's Day to Christmas Day. 

Because of that, federal institutions that are close in observance of national holidays will be open and operating on Monday.
