It celebrates the day that Jesus was crucified, and he was resurrected on Sunday, which is Easter. That begs the question that every little kid asks when they learn what Good Friday is: "Why don't they call it crappy Friday?"

Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified on the cross and died, 3 days later-Easter-he rises from the the dead. We celebrate Good Friday because it was the beginning of our christian salvation.

It is a holy day in the Christian Faith where we spend time thinking about how Christ died on the cross for us. Catholics and I am not sure about the religions, take from noon till 3 to pray. This was the time Christ spent dying on the cross. Easter is the third day after his death in which he rose from the dead and accended into heaven . This then in turn opened the gates of heaven for the rest of us.

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter or Pascha (which is on Sunday). It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus at Calvary. This year, it is on April 6, 2007.

It is the day commercial Christianity advertises as being the day Christ was killed on the stake (cross).
The day he was killed was Wednesday, Nisan 14, at 3 PM in the afternoon, the same time the Passover Lambs were being slaughtered.

The day Jesus paid the price for you sins by dying on the cross. It's a real good day! But when he rises it's even better!!!

The day that Jesus was crucified on the cross for our sins. It was the 14th of Nisan, the day the Passover lamb was to be slain for remission of sin. (read Exodus for Passover information)
