Question: When Is Good Friday?
Good Friday, the day on which Christians commemorate the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, falls on a different date each year. When is Good Friday?
Answer: Good Friday is the second day of the Triduum, the three days before Easter, during which Christians commemorate Christ's Passion. Because it is dependent on the date of Easter, and Easter is a moveable feast, the date of Good Friday changes each year. (For more information, see When Is Easter?)
