Good Friday is the day Jesus Christ was crucified.
Good Friday is a Christian holiday that marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It’s also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, or Easter Friday. Good Friday is celebrated on the day before Easter Sunday and typically falls in March or April.
When is Good Friday?
Good Friday is always celebrated on a different date each year, as it’s based on the date of Easter Sunday. The date changes every year because Easter Sunday follows the phases of the moon. This means that it’s not always in March or April, but typically falls between late March and late April.
What does Good Friday commemorate?
“The Crucifixion” by Caravaggio (1571).
Good Friday commemorates Jesus’ crucifixion and death. Christians believe that Jesus died for their sins so they could be forgiven for their wrongdoings. On Good Friday, Christians attend church services to reflect on this event and to mourn Jesus’ death.
