19th April: Good Friday 2019 Observed Around The World: Details, Significance, History

The Christian community around the world observed 'Good Friday' on 19th April to commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ on Calvary.

Good Friday is also referred to as Black Friday, Great Friday, Easter Friday or Holy Friday.

Good Friday coincides with the beginning of the Jewish festival of Passover.

Good Friday is not present in the Holy Bible, the Christian religious text portrays the story of how Jesus was betrayed by Judas which led to his arrest.

Jesus was beaten by the Roman soldiers after being nailed to a cross which he was asked to carry to his site of the crucifixion. Even though the term ‘Good’ associated with Good Friday is a contradiction to the events of this day, people believe that the term is associated with the words ‘pious or holy’.

Good Friday is followed by Easter Sunday, the day on which Jesus was resurrected from death.
