Christianity- The Good Friday.


Good Friday.
This Year, Good Friday falls on 06, April 2012.
This article is about the religious holy day GOOD FRIDAY.
Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday. On this day Christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, of the Lord.
Many Christians spend this day in prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross.  
The biblical account of crucifixion the cross,  his burial and his rising 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.
Good Friday, is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday or Easter Friday, though the latter normally refers to the Friday in Easter week
Based on the details of the Canonical gospels, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most probably on a Friday (John 19:42) The estimated year of Good Friday is AD 0033, by two different groups, and originally as AD 0034 by Isaac Newton with the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon. A third method, using a completely different astronomical approach based on a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse model consistent with Apostle Peter's reference to a "moon of blood" in Acts 2:20 points to Friday,3 April AD 0033.
