Good Friday
A day of rest and pause for thought
Today we remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
In the simple yet moving liturgy of this day, we paused, listened to the Passion story in the Gospel and honoured the cross in silent prayer.
For Good Friday:
Good Friday is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and always takes place on the Friday before Easter Sunday. For many believers, this day is characterised by the commemoration of his suffering and death, which plays a central role in the Christian faith. Special services are celebrated in many churches, where silence, prayer and Stations of the Cross take centre stage. The atmosphere of this day is characterised by reflection, mourning and reverence and forms the climax of the Passion period before the resurrection is celebrated at Easter.
