Lent

All the shopping malls and the offices are closed on Good Friday,And also the high point is closed on good Friday.

Good Friday is the day that Jesus Christ was condemned to death in Jerusalem by Pontius Pilot. He carried the cross to Calvary and was nailed to it. With his last breath he asked God to forgive his persecutors, for they did not know what they were doing.

Good Friday last fell on April 2 in 2010. Good Friday has previously fallen on this date in the years 1706, 1779, 1790, 1847, 1858, 1915, 1920, 1926 and 1999. Good Friday will next fall on April 2 in 2021.

Yes; Because Saturday was the Sabbath, Jesus had to be taken away before 6pm on Friday (as 6pm Friday is when the Sabbath begins). That's why the women didn't go to the tomb until Sunday - as they couldn't annoint the body on Saturday.

They don't, Easter Saturday is the Saturday following Easter. Holy Saturday is the day before Easter.

There is no school on Good Friday. All schools are closed on Good Friday by law.

Presumably because, as Jesus clearly taught when he refused to associate with tax collectors or heal people on the Sabbath, slavish obedience to religious law is far more important than what's in your heart.</sarcasm>

Palm Sunday started a Sunday before Easter.

Lent lasts for forty days and unlike similar fasts last through the nights as well. Sundays are not counted in the forty days as each Sunday is seen as a celebration of the resurrection (like mini-Easters) anyway. Lent ends the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Good Friday is a fasting day anyway. Eastern churches start Lent on the Monday of the 7th week before Easter and end it on the Friday 9 days before Easter. Eastern churches call this period the 'Great Lent'.

Catholic Answer Because the service on Good Friday is only the middle part of the Sacred Triduum, there is no greeting because it is a continuation of the Liturgy that started on Holy Thursday evening, and there is no blessing, as it ends after the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.

Yes, Catholics should abstain from eating meat on Good Friday, Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent.

Lent developed out of the fast that Christians kept before the Passover. Though originally the fast was absolute on the day or days before observing the memorial service of Christ's death as "our Passover," as time went on, some "fasted" longer periods of time but not absolutely. The time continued to grow in length until the 40 days that are observed by Catholics and related churches today. Lent developed out of the fast that Christians kept before the Passover.

Those Churches that take their doctrines from the Bible instead of from Catholicism may still fast before Passover, but they do not observe the Catholic time of Lent.

There are many Christian groups that don't observe Lent -- too numerous to list. It is usually those churches that believe that the Catholic Church does not have the authority of Jesus or God to set or overturn doctrine.

Lent is a time of reflection, prayer, and fasting for 40 days. It is a solemn celebration and is done to prepare for Easter. Easter is the biggest celebration in the Catholic Church because it is the celebration of Jesus' glorious resserection from the dead. There are many different Catholic Traditions that can be celebrated at Easter

Catholic empty the front because they believed that Jesus Christ has not been risen.

People aged 14 or older are not allowed to eat meat on Fridays during Lent.

The Episcopal church, as part of the Anglican communion, celebrates Lent.

Lent always starts on ash Wednesday.

All of the 'holidays' mentioned above are not biblical but started by men. In particular, the largest Church - the Roman Catholic Church - incorporated each of the above into their religious calendar. After the Reformation and Anglican splits, most all 'daughter' churches continued in these celebrations. But not all Christians observe some/none of these but continue to keep the Holy Days of God first given to the Israelites and kept in the Church Jesus and the Apostles began.
