According to the statutory instrument No. 57 of 2024, businesses, banks, shops, and public offices are required to close at 12:00 noon on this day.

The government has encouraged citizens and residents to take part in the day of prayer, using it as an opportunity for reflection, unity, and the seeking of guidance for the nation’s future.

The event is part of a longstanding tradition in the country, where national days of prayer play a key role in bringing the community together in observance of spiritual and national well-being.

This half public holiday will allow members of the public to take time off work to participate in prayer activities and spiritual gatherings across the nation.

The move is expected to foster solidarity, strengthen faith, and promote peace across the islands.
