Roman Catholic AnswerGood Friday ceremonies commemorate the passion and death of Our Blessed Savior on the Cross. The ceremonies contain the reading of the Passion, special prayers (intercessions) for all classes of society, the veneration of the Cross (by which our salvation was accomplished) and a Communion service. We attend this to worship God, and to show our love, respect, and gratitude for such a loving God who became human in order to suffer to redeem us.
