Good Friday is a solemn Christian holiday observed annually across the world to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Although the day is marked by sorrow and reflection on the suffering and death of Christ, many people still question why it is referred to as 'Good Friday'.
The day is called 'good' because of the significance of Jesus' death on the cross, which, according to many Christians, represents the ultimate sacrifice and an expression of God's love for humanity.
On this day, Jesus willingly gave his life as a sacrifice for human sin-an act regarded as a profound display of love, as highlighted in 1 John 4:10: "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
