In Summary


    Good Friday is a solemn day commemorating Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, not a celebration.

    Christian fasting customs on this day vary—some abstain from meat while others do not fast at all.

    Good Friday is not about resurrection; that is celebrated on Easter Sunday.

    The date of Good Friday changes annually, as it falls on the Friday before Easter.

    Many Christian denominations, including Protestants and Orthodox believers, observe this significant day. It is marked with reflection, prayer, and remembrance of Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross.
