Quotes and Teachings of Jesus Christ to Remember This Holy Friday

GOOD FRIDAY 2023: Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter and is commemorated as the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified. This year it will be observed on April 7. Good Friday has been observed as a day of mourning and a sorrowful day in the history of Christianity. Penance and fasting are some of the common observances on the occasion of Good Friday. In Germany, Good Friday is known as “Karfreitag”, which literally translates to “sorrowful Friday”.

Unlike Christmas and Easter, which have acquired a lot of secular traditions, Good Friday did not lead to an overlay of customs and practices which were secular in nature because of the intense religious connotation of this day. The Gospel states that Jesus Christ was found guilty of proclaiming himself as the King of Jews.
