GOOD FRIDAY

BASIC R.C. BELIEF The traditional day upon which Jesus died, and hence it is given great importance. It is observed as a day of fasting and abstinence, and the faithful are urged to receive Holy Communion on this day.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT Jesus was not crucified on Friday. Had He been entombed Friday night, he would have been in the grave less than 36 hours. Wednesday is a more probable day.

There is little value commemorating a day by ritualistic celebration, especially when the very ritual clouds the reality of what He really did for us at Calvary. It is better to know why He died than to know when He died.
