Christian festivals commemorate significant moments in every calendar.
Truly, if you are a Christian, chances are that you have heard and seen many Good Friday festivals and countless times too.
The name ‘Good Friday’ may sound strange considering what happened on that day. You might say you do not actually believe that the day Jesus was crucified was ‘Good’ but it is called, Good Friday for the biggest reason that Christ’s death atoned for all sins.
You see? Whenever you hear people say: Isn’t it strange to call a day “good” when it represents Jesus’ death? Just tell them that the core message of the day is that when Jesus died on the cross, he atoned for the sin of mankind. Viola!
Here are some more facts about Good Friday, which may help you out to understand the festival in an interesting way: Some Good Friday re-enactments involve people willingly nailing themselves to crosses. That is! Some faithful go so far as to physically be nailed to crosses for a length of time just to show their faith.
There you go! Good Friday is the Friday before Easter and is the most solemn day in the Christian calendar as it is the day Jesus was crucified. That’s it!
