Good Friday is the sixth day of Holy Week and is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday, and Easter Friday. It is part of the Paschal Triduum that starts on the evening of Maundy Thursday and also continues to Easter Sunday, recalling the passion, death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
