As usual, everyone has different- different opinions on this day. Some people suggest that the day is &#8220;good&#8221; as in &#8220;holy&#8221;. Other people speculate it may be a corruption of &#8220;God&#8217;s Friday&#8221;. But the OED(Oxford English Dictionary) states think that the adjective &#8220;good&#8221; refers to a day or season of religious observance. <\/p>\n<p>If we talk about the real story behind this day, it is that &#8211; many Christians around the world observe Good Friday on Friday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates Jesus Christ\u2019s crucifixion,  Passion, and death, which is told in the Christian Bible. It is the day after Maundy Thursday(a Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter). <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/studysection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/jesus.png\" alt=\"jesus\"\/><\/p>\n<h3>Why &#8220;Good&#8221; Friday?<\/h3>\n<p>The day of Jesus\u2019 death is called \u201cGood Friday\u201d instead of \u201cBad Friday\u201d or something else. The origin of the term \u201cGood\u201d is debated; some believe it developed from an older name, \u201cGod\u2019s Friday.\u201d In German, some Christian traditions do take this approach, for example, the day is called \u201cSorrowful Friday.\u201d  It marks the day when mercy met at the cross. This is the reason Good Friday is so dark and so holy.<\/p>\n<h3>What do people do?<\/h3>\n<p>In most of the countries, many people celebrate this day as the anniversary of Jesus Christ\u2019s and death on the Friday before Easter Sunday. Many people fasting and praying. In Poland, many Christians fast on dry bread and roasted potatoes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/studysection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img4.png\" alt=\"img\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On Good Friday, there is a public holiday in 11 states.
