When is Easter and Good Friday?
There are many countries that
observe Good Friday as a national holiday on the Friday before Easter. The day
celebrates the execution and death of Jesus Christ. However, some countries
observe Orthodox calendar in which Good Friday may occur on a different date
than this.
What is Good Friday?
If we talk about the important
events of Christianity then it will be the death and later resurrection of
Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God and his life and
teachings are the foundation of Christianity.
On this day, after the last
supper, Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, put on trial, and
sentenced to death. After that, he was tied and nailed by the wrists and feet
to a large wooden cross and left to die. This is the reason behind the use of
the cross as the symbol of Christianity.
