- Good Friday
-
1) The day that Jesus was put to death on the cross is known as ‘Good Friday’ in the western church and ‘Great Friday’ in the eastern church. It is a day when Christians remember what Christ achieved on the cross and it is often marked by a variety of church services many of them taking place at three in the afternoon, the time the gospels tell us that Jesus was crucified.
