Good Friday

What is Good Friday? Good Friday is celebrated by the Catholics. Good Friday is the day that Jesus Christ was crucified and died for the good of mankind. On this day, the Catholics would go through the 14 stations that He went through before he got crucified. Some would actually go through the process that Jesus Christ when through which means they would also be crucified. Crucified means being nailed on to the cross. Different countries would celebrate it differently. In some European countries, it is a public holiday.

In Jerusalem, the Palestinians are celebrating Good Friday

In Iraq, the Bishop gave a mass for the soldiers.

In Indonesia, they acted how it was during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

In Indonesia also in a church the cross was carried.

On the head of Jesus Christ, were thorns. This was taken in Mumbai, India.

The women in India would also carry cross and follow the man acting as Jesus Christ.

 I know some would think why is ist a celebration when Jesus Christ was brutally crucified. He was taunted, beaten up, scourged and ridiculed but in Catholicism, Jesus Christ suffered and sacrificed his life for the good of mankind. They believed He was the Son of God that was sent down from heaven and His sacrifice was to open the heaven so that all mankind's sin will be forgiven.

This is a very sacred day and Catholics would go to church on Good Friday to pray and remember the day Jesus Christ sacrificed His life.
