About Good Friday
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and falls on the Friday immediately before Easter Sunday. Because it is tied to Easter, it is a movable date, shifting between late March and mid-April each year. It is a public holiday in many countries and is observed with solemn church services, fasting, and reflection. As part of the Easter triduum it sits two days before Easter and three before the end of Holy Week. This countdown derives the date from the Western Easter computus, the same rule that governs Easter itself.
Date rule: The Friday before Easter Sunday (Easter minus two days).
