Lowe’s, one of America’s leading home improvement retailers, has once again announced that it will close all of its 1,751 U.S. stores and contact centers on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Lowe’s has paused operations on this holy day, allowing its 300,000 associates the opportunity to observe and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The decision highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting its employees’ personal time and honoring the spiritual significance of Easter.
Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison expressed the company’s gratitude for the dedication and service of its associates, stating, “In recognition of our teams’ continued hard work, we are pleased to provide a well-deserved day off so they can spend Easter with their loved ones.” The closure serves as a gesture of thanks and an acknowledgment of the deeper values that many of their employees hold dear. By making this move, Lowe’s not only provides a break for its workforce but also sets an example for corporate America, reminding us all of the importance of faith, family, and rest.
This decision from Lowe’s aligns with a broader trend seen in recent years. A number of major retailers, including Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, Best Buy, and Aldi, have also chosen to close their doors on Easter Sunday. The growing list of companies embracing this practice reflects a cultural shift in the business world—one that prioritizes the well-being of employees and respects the spiritual traditions many hold dear. While some retailers, such as Home Depot, Walmart, and Kroger, will remain open on Easter, many others have recognized the value in pausing for this important day.
For Christians, Easter is more than just a holiday; it’s a time to reflect on the sacrifice and triumph of Jesus Christ. The decision by Lowe’s and other retailers to observe the day underscores the continued relevance of these beliefs in American life. In a culture that often feels increasingly secular, these closures serve as a powerful reminder that faith still matters, that Christian values still resonate, and that honoring God is something worth doing—even at the corporate level.
At Political Pulpit, we celebrate Lowe’s decision and what it represents. This move signals a return to the values that made America great—values rooted in faith, family, and community. It’s a sign that this nation is once again turning toward Christ, embracing the timeless truths of the Bible, and prioritizing the spiritual over the material.
We commend Lowe’s for making this bold stand, and we hope more companies will follow suit. As our culture seeks a path back to moral clarity and spiritual awakening, these gestures—closing for Easter, encouraging reflection, and prioritizing family—help light the way. They remind us that America’s strength lies in its foundation on Judeo-Christian principles and its ability to uplift those who seek God’s guidance.
This Easter, we urge everyone to take a moment to reflect on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Celebrate the gift of salvation, spend time with loved ones, and consider the profound significance of this day. And as we do so, let us also give thanks to companies like Lowe’s for recognizing the importance of honoring God, supporting their employees, and helping us all remember what truly matters.
