Remember the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. (from the Nicene Creed in 325 C.E.) The MOST important thing that Jesus did for us was die for our sins to give us the gift of everlasting life. The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the MOST important point in all of human history.

There are no Masses on Good Friday, ever. There is a Good Friday Liturgy at which there is Holy Communion given from the reserved Hosts from Holy Thursday. There is also veneration of the Cross, and intercessions offered for the entire world. Many parishes also conduct the Way of the Cross at some time on Friday, but this is not an official part of the Church's liturgy.

depends on the church. the only thing The Bible says is Jesus told us to remember Him and his death, burial, and resurrection and to break bread and drink wine to remember (doesn't mean alcoholic wine either). on good friday, my church does just this by having a cracker and a cup of juice and celebrating the events that occurred after the last supper.

Good Friday is the most solemn day on the Liturgical Calendar and is NOT celebrated. It is observed by Catholics by attending Good Friday services in their Church and by fasting and abstaining.

Catholics are asked to pray and reflect on Christ's death and fast (One full meal and two smaller ones, which together do not equal a full meal). Also, Catholics should not eat meat on Good Friday.

Fast and pray, fast and pray.

Thank God for His Only-begotten Son's sacrifice.

Grieve for Christ.

Prepare to rejoice for His triumph.

Roman Catholic AnswerIt used to be called the Mass of the Presanctified. Is the the only day of the year when Mass is not celebrated. In the new liturgy, since Vatican Council II, it is a Solemn Liturgical Action in the afternoon which consists of a reading of the Gospel according to St. John, special prayers for the Church and the people of all classes of society, the veneration of the Cross, and a Communion service.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

We are remembering and honoring Our Blessed Lord for undergoing His Passion and Death out of Love to save us.

There is no Mass on Good Friday as Jesus is mourned and not resurrected. Holy Communion is distributed, however. Also, there is veneration of the cross.
