Why is Good Friday celebrated?
Easter is just around the corner, and like every year, many adventurous travel enthusiasts in Germany are wondering what activities they can undertake on this 'silent' holiday. Unlike the usual Easter holidays, Good Friday stands under a special star. We explain what makes this holiday so special and give tips for its design and planning. Good Friday is for the Christian community around the world a particularly important day. On Good Friday, Christians commemorate Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for them on this day.
Already the previous day – Maundy Thursday, is an important Christian holiday. On this day, the Last Supper is said to have taken place and serves as inspiration for the Eucharist celebration. The crucifixion is known today because the image of Jesus on the cross is often used in churches or as jewelry. The following Sunday, Easter Sunday, is the day on which the resurrection of Jesus is celebrated. Good Friday, like the weeks before, is considered a time of fasting in Christianity.
In many countries, Good Friday is a silent holiday, during which special rituals, services, and processions often take place. It is a time for reflection and prayer.
What is forbidden on Good Friday?
On Good Friday, a silent holiday in Germany, special regulations and prohibitions apply, which correspond to the serious character of this day. One of the most important rules is the ban on assemblies. No public events or festivals are held to maintain silence and reflection. This also includes music and sports events, which come to rest on this day.
In addition, loud activities and noises are undesirable in many communities. This means that vacuuming, loud music, or loud celebrations should be avoided to maintain quiet. In some regions of Germany, certain TV shows and films may not be broadcast on Good Friday, with the rules varying from state to state. In the Catholic states in the south of Germany, the regulations are often stricter than in the Protestant-influenced countries in the north.
Overall, Good Friday serves as a day of introspection, reflection on the suffering of Jesus Christ, and remembrance of the significance of this day in the Christian faith. It is a time of silence and reflection, supported by the mentioned prohibitions.
