Good Friday is a significant Christian observance marking the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary, alternatively referred to as Holy Friday, Great Friday, or Black Friday.

Taking place within Holy Week as a component of the Paschal Triduum, Good Friday is dedicated to solemnity, penitence, and fasting. The Paschal Triduum encompasses three days, commencing with Maundy Thursday, continuing through the pinnacle of the Easter Vigil, and concluding with evening prayer on Easter Sunday.

Both Catholics and Eastern Orthodox adherents observe Good Friday through fasting and attending church services.

During the "Service of the Great Three Hours’ Agony," which lasts from noon until 3 pm, participants reflect on the biblical account of darkness enveloping the land during Jesus’ crucifixion.

In terms of its date, historically, Good Friday occurs between March 20 and April 23. This year, it falls on March 29 (Friday).

Good Friday marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by Roman soldiers based on charges of blasphemy brought forth by religious leaders. According to biblical accounts, his death served as a sacrificial act to atone for sins, enabling believers to restore their relationship with God, his Father.

The term 'Good Friday' stems from the Christian perspective that Jesus Christ's crucifixion signifies the supreme sacrifice made for the forgiveness of humanity's sins. His death is viewed as paving the way for eternal life for believers, facilitating salvation, and fostering reconciliation between humanity and God.

On Good Friday, start the day early to prepare for a day of solemn observance. Consider wearing black attire to symbolize mourning. In acknowledgment of the day's somber nature, minimize usage of television, phones, and social media. Adhere to the Church's requirement of fasting and abstinence. Attend a prayer service dedicated to Good Friday. During the "Great Three Hours’ Agony" from noon to 3:00 pm, maintain silence in reflection. Show reverence to the holy cross either at home or in the Church.
