Good Friday commemorates the events of Jesus Christ’s trial, crucifixion, and death, as recorded in the four Gospel accounts. Jesus is tried by both Jewish leaders and Roman authorities, and is sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate. He is beaten and abused before being crucified between two criminals. He makes seven statements from the cross before his death, and is buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.
