Good Friday
(Christian)
Good Friday is a holy day celebrated by Christians
on the Friday before Easter or Pascha. It
commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus at Calvary.
Special prayer services are often held on this day
with readings from the Gospel accounts of the events
leading up to the crucifixion. Mainstream Christian
churches view Christ's crucifixion as a voluntary and
vicarious act, and one by which, along with his
resurrection on the third day, death itself was
conquered.
