Good Friday is known as Great and Holy Friday in the Orthodox Church. On this day, we commemorate the "Holy and Redeeming Passion of the Lord" which is the day when Jesus was crucified on the cross. The other event/service on Great Friday is called the "Descent from the Cross" which is when His Body was taken down from the cross for burial.
On Good Friday Jesus died on the Cross, the sky got dark and the curtain in the Temple tore from top to bottom, symbolising the division between God and humanity being removed because of Jesus' sacrifice.
The watch of the night between 3 am and 6 am was called cockcrow. Peter's threefold denial of Jesus, once each hour until the cock crowed, marked the end of that phase of the night. That makes it 6 am.
Meditate on the sufferings of Christ on the cross and fast a little and praise and worship in your own way rejoicing the next 2 days which is Easter (the resurrection).
On Good Friday, Jesus was crucified on the cross for our sins, because we are all sinners and we need His grace.
