Good Friday

This day is called Good even though the Lord died this day because by His death, we are saved from sin and its penalty of death. Because Christ died, we who deserve death have been ransomed and saved from death. In Him, by our baptism, we are given the promise of the inheritance of eternal life. Consult your local parish and listings for services to mark this day as a most sacred one. It is a day of fast and abstinence, meaning no meat or meat products for anyone over 14, and only one full meal (ort its equivalent in two smaller meals) for those who are between 16 and 59 years of age. Please check your local parish and listings for services to make this day holy. Many Christians keep the paschal feast until tomorrow evening, no meat or meat products and not more than one meal during the day.
