Good Friday 2023 is here. The day is observed on the fifth day of the Holy Week — a day after Maundy Thursday and the Friday before Easter. Every year, this day falls between March 20 and April 23. This year, it is celebrated on April 7. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Holy and Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday, and Black Friday.
It is a day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. Some people refrain from eating and recounting the painful crucifixion of Jesus. Christians across the globe are gearing up to observe this day by gathering in the church, fasting, remembering the sacrifices of Jesus Christ, praying, and sending wishes, greetings, quotes, and messages to their loved ones.
It is a public holiday in countries like Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Finland, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, New Zealand, Norway, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, United Kingdom, and Venezuela. But it is not a federal holiday in the United States.
Here are some messages, greetings, wishes, and quotes to share with your family and friends on Good Friday 2023.
