Pascal Uche Ejikeme wrote, Jesus died on this day over 2000 years ago, yet nobody has ever called him the late Jesus, not even the devil. because he is the living God.  Many Christians around the world observe Good Friday on the Friday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates Jesus Christ’s Passion, crucifixion and death, which is told in the Christian bible. It is the day after Maundy Thursday.

What do people do?

This is an observance that involves people fasting and praying. Many church services are held in the afternoon, usually around noon or midday to 3pm, to remember the hours when Jesus hung on the cross. Many churches also observe the day by re-enacting the procession of the cross as in the ritual of the Stations of the Cross, which depicts the final hours of Jesus’ life. Processions are held in many countries such as India, Italy, Malta, the Philippines, and Spain.
Kites that are often handmade are flown in Bermuda on Good Friday to symbolize the cross that Jesus died on, as well as his ascension into heaven. This custom dates back to the 19th century. Churches in countries, such as Belgium and Mexico, are draped in black on Good Friday in memory of Jesus’ suffering on the cross. The day is solemn and a general air of sadness is felt in many towns and villages. Many Christians in Poland fast on dry bread and roasted potatoes. Egg decorating is also part of the Easter preparations in Poland and many other countries.

Traditional Foods Eaten on Good Friday

Why do we only leave Catholics with the tradition of Good Friday. Jesus Christ died for us all and we are remembering him together not only the Catholics faithfuls.
Can you eat meat on Good Friday? For Catholics observing Good Friday, the answer is no.
The Catholic law of abstinence dictates that Catholics aged 14 and older refrain from meat on Fridays altogether during Lent, including on Good Friday.
Additionally, Catholics aged 18 to 59 should fast on both Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, defined by the Roman Catholic church as consuming only one full meal, or two smaller meals.
So what about YOU that you are not a Catholic, what do you think its right?

So what is allowed in this one meal? Abstaining from certain foods is a requirement. Meat, and anything with meat in it, is to be avoided completely on Good Friday. No beef, pork, chicken, veal, turkey, etc., is permitted. Seafood is fine to consume on Good Friday, although this has been debated. Many people do not consider fish meat, so they have it with their Good Friday meal. Should an individual choose to eat only salad or fruit for their meal, it would be permissible, also. Drinking tea, coffee, juice, or milk is acceptable.
The most popular food eaten on Good Friday is hot cross buns. The base for this delicious bread food is flour, salt, milk, yeast, and water. They can be made with currants, raisins, or other dried fruit. Some people put sugar or honey in them, as well as cinnamon and/or nutmeg, vanilla, and eggs. The choice is yours as long as you enjoy it!
The buns are marked on top with a cross going all the way down all four sides of the bun. The cross can be icing or just a cut in the top of the loaf. You can also use different colored dough rather than icing if it is too sweet for you. The buns may be served warm with butter, jam, preserves, or whatever you like.
Many Roman Catholics and other Christians will eat only fish and vegetables on that day. You may prepare foods like meatless spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, and minestrone. Enjoy a veggie wrap or some spinach lasagna. It really isn’t difficult to find something to serve that is meatless and delicious as well.
