Today is Good Friday.
Good Friday is a Christian commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary.
The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover.
Good Friday is a widely instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world, including in most Western countries(especially among Anglican and Catholic nations).
