Good Friday is a solemn Christian observance that falls on the Friday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. On this day, Christians reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus for the redemption of humanity. Church services often include readings, prayers, and hymns that focus on the passion and suffering of Christ. Many Christians also participate in processions, reenactments, or quiet personal reflections to honor the significance of Good Friday. It is a day of mourning, contemplation, and gratitude for the profound act of love and sacrifice central to the Christian faith.
