Good Friday 2024: Commemorating the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ

Good Friday, observed on March 29 this year, holds significance for Christians worldwide as they commemorate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary.

According to the New Testament accounts, Good Friday marks the day when Jesus was crucified by the Romans following condemnation by Jewish religious leaders for claiming to be the Son of God.

This day, also known as Holy Friday, is a time of solemn reflection and mourning for Christians as they recall the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and subsequent resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Pontius Pilate, a Roman leader, played a crucial role in the sentencing of Jesus to crucifixion, in response to the demands of the religious authorities who viewed Jesus as a threat to their teachings.
