The Daily News page will be on hold until Tuesday to honor Juan Santamaría Day, a public holiday in Costa Rica that this year is being celebrated on Monday.

Today, April 11, is the actual day, which commemorates one of Costa Rica's national hero attributed with saving the country from the mid-19th century U.S. citizen William Walker, who sought to turn Central America into a slave-trading colony.

Most Costa Ricans will take off work on Monday, as decreed by the country's labor law. Anyone who works that day has the right to double pay.

Many institutions and offices including the U.S. Embassy will be closed Monday.
