Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter
Sunday. It is celebrated traditionally as the day on which Jesus was crucified.This is an important event in Christianity, as it represents the sacrifices and
suffering in Jesus' life. The crucifixion was the culmination of a number of
events in Holy Week, including: the triumphal return of Jesus to Jerusalem on
Palm Sunday; the washing of the disciples' feet by Jesus; and the Last Supper on
Maundy Thursday.
Good Friday is a day of mourning and quiet prayer for many Christians. The
candles are often extinguished and statues, paintings and crosses may be draped
in black, purple or gray cloth.
Good Friday is not an official holiday in United States.
