The purpose of Good Friday is to commemorate Jesus’ crucifixion. Christians generally believe that Jesus was crucified on this day. Easter is the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection, which occurred three days after his crucifixion.
According to Christian belief, Jesus took the sins of the world with him when he died, and as a result of his sacrifice, people are saved and have the opportunity to enter heaven after death. Jesus’ death and crucifixion represent his sacrifice and pardon for all human sins.
