Good Friday, observed during Holy Week on the Friday before Easter, is a Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a solemn day marked by prayer, penance, fasting, and reflection on the significance of Jesus’ Passion as part of the Christian understanding of God’s plan for human salvation. Good Friday forms part of the Easter Triduum, which also includes Holy Saturday and Easter.
