GOOD  FRIDAY

( Black Friday, Holy Friday or Great Friday )




* 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 Black Friday, Holy Friday, Great Friday, or Easter Friday,[though the latter normally refers to the Friday in Easter week.


Date and time of the Crucifixion of Jesus


* Based on the details of the Canonical gospels, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most likely to have been on a Friday. * The estimated year of Good Friday is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via 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 33.
