About Good Friday

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday, when Christians remember the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. It is the most solemn day of the Christian year.

It is called good because Christians believe that through this day of suffering came God's love and forgiveness for all people. It is part of Holy Week, after Maundy Thursday and before Holy Saturday and Easter.

Churches are left bare, without flowers or music, and hold quiet services in the afternoon, often from noon to three, with readings of the Passion, the Way of the Cross and prayers. Many people fast or eat simply, and spend the day in quiet.

How people celebrate Good Friday

  • Way of the Cross
  • Three hours service from noon
  • Reading the Passion
  • Veneration of the cross
  • Fasting and simple meals
  • Quiet prayer and reflection

How to wish well

  • Good Friday is a solemn day, not a happy one. Avoid Happy Good Friday; say A blessed Good Friday or simply share a prayer.
  • Short lines from scripture or a quiet prayer suit the day better than long greetings.
  • Keep cheerful Easter wishes for Sunday morning.
  • No jokes, no emoji-style cheer. A formal, gentle tone is right for colleagues and customers.
