New Delhi | Jagran Lifestyle Desk: Good Friday is one of the most auspicious festivals of Christians, which falls right after Maundy Thursday and before Easter, the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. This year the day has fallen on April 2, 2021, two days before Easter Sunday. The day marks the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. As per Christian belief, on this day, Jesus took away the world's sins along with him to heaven. This sacrifice gave way to all the Christians to enter heaven after death. In Bible, it is said, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16) On this day, devotees gather in Church at 3 pm as it is believed that at this very time, Jesus Christ left for his heavenly abode hours after being crucified. Not just this, many Christians also observe fasting to mark this day and in places like Spain, Italy and the Philippines, processions are carried out to remember his death.
