Good Friday 2018: When is it, significance and best messages to share
Join us this Friday March 30th at Noon for a performance by Apollo's Fire of George Fredric Handel's oratorio "Israel in Egypt".
Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as "Holy Week, ' since it accounts for the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy, the 'Last Supper" and Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
In Eastern Christianity, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the Fortieth Day, the Feast of the Ascension.
Grafton Wesleyan Holiness Church will be hosting the Jimmy Justice Family on Friday, March 30, 7:00-9:00 p.m. So, the Christians do not celebrate on Good Friday, they remember his suffering, his journey as he was abandoned by his father and then about the injustice of his execution. But on another perspective, they believe that the cross event was a defeat of sin, death of evil and a triumph. There are several theories as to why it is known as Good Friday. People also exchange gifts with each other on this occasion.

But the entire period from Good Friday to Easter Sunday is significant. Shops remain close, horse riding, dancing, boozing everything is restricted on that day.
Signifying the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His Sacrifice for the good of humanity, Easter denotes introspection, charity and service to the community. Devotees grieve for two days and keep fast as well.
Good Friday is celebrated in different ways across the world.
For those who don't like chocolate, there's still plenty to enjoy, including Motorfest, a huge selection of classic cars, motorbikes and more on display at Weston Park (April 1st), and circus spectacular Lexicon in Newcastle-under-Lyme from March 28th to April 21st as part of this year's Philip Astley and Circus 250 celebrations. Processions are organised by churches across the world while awareness about the day is raised among the commoners.
