Good Friday

The date of Good Friday changes every year on both Julian and Georgian calendars.  On Good Friday, Christ was hung on the cross. He was accused of hypocrisy and calling himself the son of God. Good Friday is a hobby day, but because Jesus Christ died on this day, it is called "Good" Friday.

Good Friday has special significance for Christians. On this day Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross. Although he was innocent, he was hanged on the cross. Before he was being crucified, he quoted "He did not accuse those who punished, rather he pardoned them, because they do not know what they are doing."

Why Jesus was Crucified? 

When Jesus was young, he wandered around and gave the message of humanity and peace to the people. He called people who spread superstition in the name of religion an enemy of mankind. Distraught with his messages, the piety sentenced him to death by accusing him of contempt of religion. Two thousand years ago, Jesus was given the death penalty because Jesus was teaching people to remove the darkness of injustice and gross luxury and ignorance. 

At that time, rabbinic rabbis (religious leaders) of the Jews strongly opposed Jesus. He did not find anything special in Jesus like the Messiah. He loved his rituals. It was a huge sin for him to call himself the son of God. So he complained to the then Roman governor Pilate. The Romans always feared the Jewish Revolution, so to please the hardliners, Pilate gave Jesus cruel punishment on the cross.

Jesus was tortured in many ways. A crown of thorns was placed on Jesus' head. After this, Jesus lifted the cross on his shoulder and took it to a place called Golgotha or Calvary, where he was crucified. The day Jesus was crucified was Friday. Jesus called out to God in a loud voice - 'Father, I hand over my soul to you.' He gave up his life after uttering such words. Jesus was in favor of change. He did not tie the limits of human love, but by his sacrifice he described him as autistic and beyond selfishness.

What happens on Good Friday?

On Good Friday, followers of Christianity go to church and remember the Lord Jesus. The devotees remember the suffering suffered by the Lord Jesus on the cross for three hours. Wearing black clothes at night time, the devotees take the footsteps, mourning while taking the image of Jesus with them.
