Easter Two

I forgot this:
Our maid came in as usual on Friday and when I asked her why all of the stores and restaurants were closed she told me that Good Friday is the holiest day of the year, bigger than Easter Sunday. I kept apologizing, "I'm so sorry, you should go home, I'm sure you want to be with your family." And then I offered our excuse for making her come into work on the holiest day of the year, "We didn't know, we're not Catholic."
"That's OK," she said, "at least you're not Roman."
