Good Friday is a significant day in the Christian faith, observed in remembrance of the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. According to Britannica, since the early days of Christianity, Good Friday has been marked as a solemn day of mourning, repentance, and fasting.
This year, Easter Sunday falls on April 20, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It follows the 40-day period of Lent. Easter’s date changes each year because it is a “moveable feast” in the Christian liturgical calendar, as noted by the History Channel. Other moveable feasts include Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday.
