Petition New Bank Holiday. The Epiphany should be a national bank holiday.

I always have to work the Epiphany and I feel that this is not correct. Whilst other cultures are allowed extra time off work to celebrate their beliefs, myself and many others are denied this opportunity. If it was a Bank Holiday, everybody could unite, join in and celebrate this event.

More details

Epiphany is a public holiday in countries such as Austria, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland, Ethiopia (but on different date that varies annually), parts of Germany, Greece, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, and Uruguay.
