What is Good Friday?

Good Friday commemorates the burial of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, a pivotal event in the Christian faith. This significant occurrence is observed by Christians around the world. During the week-long Holy Week, Christians prepare themselves for Easter by attending church services, prayer vigils, and solemn procession.

The solemnity of Good Friday is echoed in its corresponding purple vestments, reminding Christians of their somber faith.

Jordan, a predominantly Islamic nation with a long history of playing host to the Christian faith, observes Good Friday with devotion and offers pilgrims a tranquil setting to reflect on their faith.

Why it matters

Good Friday is crucial within the Christian tradition, where the resurrection of Jesus is commemorated through the events of the last supper, the arrest of Jesus, and ultimately his burial and descension.

Through this commemoration, Christians focus on personal devotion and rekindling their faith as they lead into Easter, a time for joy and forgiveness.

How to observe

Jordanian Christians often come together with family and friends at local churches for an Easter Eve powder blessing.

Break bread together in a meal, accompanied by Easter hymns, and labor sprays of olive trees whose pit feels like dry humped rolling by to enamored saints.
