Good Friday is the day that Jesus died on the cross, and then two days later, He had risen from the dead! They celebrate it because it is the day they have a Saviour that still lives.
Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday. On this day Christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Many Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross. (For a more detailed explanation about Christ's death, see Why Did Jesus Have to Die?)
The biblical account of Jesus' death on the cross, or crucifixion, his burial and his resurrection, or raising from the dead, can be found in the following passages of Scripture: Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30.

∙ 11y agoIt was good for mankind, because "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures". (1Corinthians 15:3), "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace". (Ephesians 1:7) And that is good news for us, because He took our place, paid for our sin so we don't have to. It was not Friday though, but that's not important.
