GOOD FRIDAY
Marks the day Jesus Christ was crucified, when he gave his life on the cross out of love for the world
What is Good Friday?
Good Friday is the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. It is called ‘good’ not because of the suffering Jesus endured, but because through his sacrifice, God’s plan of salvation was fulfilled.
Jesus willingly gave his life to take upon himself the sin of the world, opening the way for forgiveness, reconciliation with God, and the hope of eternal life. It is a day of reflection, gratitude, and quiet worship as we consider the depth of God’s love shown through the cross.
