Why is Good Friday celebrated?

In Christianity, Jesus Christ is called the son of God. It is believed that he was born on this earth to remove ignorance. Therefore, when Pilate made Jesus Christ commit many atrocities, he kept tolerating them and when he was ordered to be crucified, even then he prayed to God to forgive all the crimes committed by these people due to ignorance. Presenting an example of the ultimate love, Jesus smilingly accepted to be crucified, although he was so powerful that if he wanted, he could have punished those people for their crimes.

People who believe in Christianity remember Good Friday as the day of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. This day is very important for them. On this day, people of the Christian community go to the church and pray. Many people also keep a fast for Jesus. After fasting, sweet bread is made and eaten. On this day, instead of bells, wooden rattles are played in the temple. People give charity and do good deeds with great enthusiasm. Also, the teachings of Lord Jesus are remembered on this day.
