TRENTON — The Christian holiday of Good Friday means some businesses and offices will be closed but others won't.

Good Friday marks the occasion of the crucifixion of Jesus. Two days, Easter celebrates his resurrection.

New Jersey is one of twelve states where Good Friday is a state holiday.

While the financial markets are closed, NJ Transit and PATH are on a regular schedule.
