On a Friday before Easter, Christian festivals.
Good Friday commemorates Jesus capped a week in life (namely "holy week", also known as "passion week") in the big day. One from this week before Easter Sunday (palm Sunday - Jesus into Jerusalem with honor, welcomed people armed with palm branches), after the Thursday before Easter (made holy communion, Jesus and his disciples came into the "last supper" set up the Eucharist) and Friday (good Friday, Jesus was crucified and died for the SINS of the world) to the end of the Easter (Sunday). The theme of "holy week" is the core content of the new testament bible - the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
On good Friday this holiday, Catholic, orthodox, and Christian holy, Lutheran and other factions have liturgy. In many places, with different denominations in the day, during week, solidarity.
In addition to the holy communion, morning prayers, night worship, Friday's protest activities in communities with large Catholic populations are also common. In Jerusalem, Israel priests carrying the cross led the faithful retrace Jesus crucifixion "stations", everywhere are chanting prayers. In Sicily, Italy, trapani Easter parade started from good Friday afternoon, in the sad music people carried the wooden crucifix marching slowly along the street, the parade will last 24 hours. In many places on this day also show passion plays, the tragic scene.
This special day can also cause some crazy behavior. Such as black Friday, March 25, 2005 that day, the United States in central Texas a sect of believers, outside the church to imitate Jesus' crucifixion. They will be tied to a high cross, up to 7 hours in front of the people walk or drive by here to repeat a crucifix.
復活節的前一個星期五，基督教節日。
耶穌受難日是紀念耶穌生命中最高潮的一周(即“圣周”，又稱“受難周”)中最重大的日子。這一周是從復活節前的一個星期日(棕櫚主日——耶穌光榮地進入耶路撒冷城，民眾手持棕櫚枝歡迎他)開始，經復活節前的星期四(立圣餐日——紀念耶穌與門徒進“最后的晚餐”時設立圣餐禮)和星期五(受難日——紀念耶穌為世人的罪被釘十字架而死)到復活節(星期日)結束。“圣周”的主題也是《新約圣經》的核心內容——耶穌基督的受死和復活。
對耶穌受難日這個節日，天主教、東正教以及基督教圣公、信義會和其他一些派別都有禮拜儀式。在許多地方，不同教派在這一天聯合舉行禮拜，表示團結合一。
除了圣餐禮、晨禱、晚崇拜之外，受難日的游行活動在天主教徒聚居的社區也很常見。在以色列的耶路撒冷城，教士們舉著十字架領著信徒們重走當年耶穌受難的“苦路”，每到一處都要誦經祈禱。在意大利西西里，特拉帕尼復活節的游行從耶穌受難日下午就開始了，在哀傷的音樂聲中人們抬著木制的耶穌受難像沿著街道緩緩行進，這樣的游行要持續24小時。許多地方在這一天還演出受難劇，再現那悲劇性的一幕。
這個特殊的日子也會引發某些近乎瘋狂的行為。比如2005年3月25日耶穌受難日那一天，美國得克薩斯州中部某個教派的信徒，在教堂外模仿耶穌受難。他們將自己綁在高高的十字架上，時間長達7小時，在走過或駕車經過這里的人們面前重演耶穌受難的情景。
