Good Friday is a very important and crucial day for Christians. They believe it is the second-most important day in history. On this day, Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for everyone\u2019s sins. Most people wonder why it is considered a good day and called Good Friday when it resembles Jesus getting crucified, but it is called this because it commemorates the day that He traded places for everyone so that could have a spot in heaven waiting for them. In Germany, this day is referred to as Karfreitag or \u201cSorrowful Friday.\u201d When asked about Good Friday, Hailey Mergen<\/strong> said, \u201cI know that Good Friday is the day that Jesus was crucified and that just a few days later he rose from the dead.\u201d In English the origin of the word \u201cGood\u201d is wondered by most if it was originated from an older name \u201cGod\u2019s Friday.\u201d When interviewing Evelynn Bake<\/strong>r about what she knows about Good Friday, she said, \u201cI was raised Catholic and participated in Lent growing up, so every Friday 40 days before Good Friday I was not allowed to eat meat and I had to give up something for the 40 days, since Jesus fasted for 40 days.\u201d Many different cultures and types of people celebrate Good Friday in different types of ways. Some don\u2019t even know what Good Friday is, but an estimation is that about 63% of the United States identify as a Christian.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Laylah Rhine \u00a0 Good Friday is a very important and crucial day for Christians….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1801,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1799\/revisions\/1801"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
