Good Friday is a solemn Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary (Golgotha), observed annually during Holy Week. Many Christian denominations, including Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican traditions, mark this day with fasting and special church services, such as the "Great Three Hours' Agony" held from noon to 3 p.m., and the praying of the Stations of the Cross. Its name derives from an older sense of "good" meaning 'pious' or 'holy,' reflecting the Christian belief in Jesus's death as an ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins, a concept also evident in its Old English name, "Long Friday," referring to lengthy observances. According to biblical accounts, Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane by Roman soldiers guided by Judas Iscariot, interrogated by High Priest Caiaphas, and subsequently brought before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. While its exact date varies annually due to differing calendar calculations between Eastern and Western Christianity, Good Friday is widely recognized as a legal holiday globally, with some nations even prohibiting certain public activities to uphold its sombre nature.
