Today is Good Friday

The Friday before Easter commemorates the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the Christian Faith and is called Good Friday, reports The National Day Calendar.  Christians around the world recall the biblical story of Jesus’s crucifixion on this day. The day goes by other names as well, such as Holy Friday, Black Friday, and Great Friday. The observance is central to the Christian holy season that leads up to Easter when Jesus Christ was resurrected. While Easter has become a traditional celebration in the secular world, Good Friday has remained a holy and spiritual observance.  There are over 1,500 national days, so don’t miss a single one by celebrating every day with The National Day Calendar.
