Good Friday, also known as "Holy Friday," is the Friday before Easter Sunday. This day is traditionally celebrated by all believers as the day on which Jesus was crucified. Good Friday is the day when Christians commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, an important event in Christianity, as it represents the suffering in the life of Christ. The crucifixion was the culmination of a number of Holy Week events, including the triumphant return of Jesus to Jerusalem on Sunday, the washing of the disciples' feet by Jesus, and the Last Supper on Thursday.
