Good Friday is the second day of the Sacred Triduum and it commemorates the redemptive suffering and death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion.

 

The liturgy of Good Friday includes a special reading of the Gospel – the Passion reading, the veneration of the cross and the distribution of Holy Communion. The tone of the service is solemn with periods of silence in the beginning and the end.

 

The most important Good Friday symbol is the crucifix which represents the way in which Jesus died. The Stations of the Cross is often incorporated before the service. In solidarity with Jesus’ passion, Catholics are called to fast (one meal) and abstain from meat on Good Friday.

 
Holy Saturday is known as the day of “waiting” as we mourn the death of Jesus and wait for the coming of his joyful resurrection. The silence of this day reminds us of the witness and intercession of Mother Mary when our crosses become too heavy to carry. 
 
In the evening of Holy Saturday we are called to spread the Light of Christ to the world through Easter Vigil as the Church celebrates the resurrection of Christ. This is the night we experience the sacred and greatest liturgy of the entire year together with our new brothers and sisters in Christ receiving their Sacrament of Initiation on this night!
