Good Friday

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter day.

It is a religious day and represents the day that Jesus was crucified.

Good Friday can fall between 19th March and 25th April.

The reason that the date of Good Friday changes each year and doesn’t have a set date is because Easter day is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon (which is the full moon on or after 21st March). As this changes each year so does the date of Easter day, which in turn means that Good Friday also changes to correspond with when Easter Day is.

Good Friday 2009 is on Friday 10th April 2009.
