The next Good Friday is Friday, April 10, 2020.
On Good Friday, the Friday before easter, Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a fast day during Holy Week
Good Friday (Viernes Santo) is a family holiday in many Latin countries.
“Neither good nor evil can last for ever; and so it follows that as evil has lasted a long time, good must now be close at hand.”
~ Cervantes, Don Quixote
The Rabbula Gospels
The earliest image of the crucifixion in a manuscript is found in the Rabbula Gospels, a 6th-century illuminated manuscript from what is now Syria.
The book is in the Laurentian Library in Florence, Italy.

What does this sad commemoration tell us?
It’s such a sad moment. Is it a ritual that commemorates the passion of winter? Is it like crouching to prepare for jumping?
