Know the history, significance of Good Friday

One of the most important days in the Christian community has arrived. Every year, Christians around the world observe Good Friday. People come to the church on Fridays to worship. Some people fast and observe the day of mourning and sorrow as well.

Contrary to popular belief, Good Friday is not a joyful occasion. It is a day of mourning because Jesus Christ was crucified on this day. Good Friday, also known as Black Friday and Holy Friday, commemorates the day when Jesus Christ gave his life to atone for the sins of those who believe in him.

As we prepare to celebrate the day, here are a few facts about Good Friday:

Date: On a Friday, it is believed that Jesus Christ was crucified. As a result, Good Friday is observed. Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter. Good Friday will be observed on April 7 this year.

Significance: It is believed that God loved the world so much that he sacrificed his only son’s life to atone for all of humanity’s sins.

He gave his life to atone for the sins of those who believed in Jesus Christ. This day is observed as a day of mourning and sorrow, with people commemorating Jesus’ sacrifice to save humanity from the shadows of their own sins. People abstain from eating to commemorate the day of sorrow. It is also advised not to greet someone with Happy Good Friday because it is a sad day for the Christian community.

History: The Roman authorities arrested and abused Jesus Christ. Then he was crucified on the Mount of Calvary. There are several theories as to why it is called Good Friday; some believe it refers to God, while others believe it refers to the goodness of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. Good Friday heralds the start of the Easter weekend.
