Observance Of Good Friday: What is observed on Good Friday? What should you not do on Good Friday?

On the Friday before Easter Sunday, many people around the world commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. This is a religious observance in which people fast and pray.

To commemorate the hours that Jesus hung on the cross, many church services are held in the afternoon, usually around 12 or midday to 3 pm.

Many churches commemorate the day by reenacting the procession of the cross, as depicted in the Stations of the Cross rite, which commemorates Jesus’ final hours

The only meat typically eaten on a Friday in the Catholic religion is fish, and fasting on this specific Friday entails the avoidance of all meats and dairy. This fast is to commemorate Christ’s sacrifice of his body and flesh to atone for humanity’s sins.

Christians are not supposed to be loud and party during this period but instead be sombre as they mourn the crucifixion and death of Christ.
