Liturgy of the Passion

Good Friday is a significant day in the Christian calendar, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is observed during Holy Week and is a time for reflection, mourning, and solemnity. Here is a typical structure for a Good Friday service:

The atmosphere of the service is typically sombre, with decorations often minimal, and the altar may be stripped bare. The use of dark colours, such as black or purple, signifies mourning. Some churches may also choose to observe a period of silence at the end of the service.

The Good Friday service serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ and invites believers to reflect on their faith and the meaning of redemption.
