Good Friday HistoryGood Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his subsequent death at Calvary. Acknowledged universally by Christians, it is a solemn day marked with prayers, penances, and fasting to honor the sacrifice made by Jesus to atone for mankind's sins. The day emphasizes themes of sacrifice, redemption, and gratitude, more than celebration. The origin of Good Friday is rooted in Christian theology, tracing back to Jesus Christ's crucifixion and death in the first century AD. As per the account provided in the Christian scriptures, Good Friday represents the culmination of Jesus' journey to martyrdom, an event full of profound implications for Christian believers. In India, Good Friday holds a significant place among the Christian community which constitutes approximately 2.3% of the total population. The day serves as a poignant reminder for Indian Christians of Jesus' immense suffering and steadfast commitment to the path of righteousness and love for mankind. In India, Good Friday is a gazetted holiday, observed with deep respect and devotion, resulting in many offices, schools, and commercial establishments remaining closed. Churches throughout the country organize special prayer services, processions, and the enactments of the Way of the Cross, making the day's observances both contemplative and communal. The three-hour service, recollecting the last three hours of Jesus's life, is a significant part of the ritual in many churches. The day, falling on the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday, changes every year as it depends on the Lunar calendar. As such, Good Friday is held between March 20th and April 23rd, with the exact date varying annually. Facts about Good Friday
