Good Friday is also known by names like Black Friday, Great Friday and Holy Friday. The Jewish rulers gave many physical and mental tortures to Jesus. It is believed that the day when Lord Jesus was hanged on the cross made of wood, that day was Friday. Even after being crucified and tortured, Jesus said in his last words, ‘God forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing’. Hey Dad! I hand over my soul in your hands.’ Even before his death, for the last time only messages of forgiveness and welfare came out of Jesus’ mouth.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christianity, Lord Jesus gave the message of love, knowledge and non-violence for the welfare of mankind. In such a situation, the attachment of people towards Jesus Christ was increasing. The growing popularity of Jesus started causing trouble to the Jews and they felt that due to the popularity of Jesus, their power might be taken away from them. That’s why the Jews tortured Jesus physically and mentally and after that he was crucified. Jesus sacrificed his life for the welfare of mankind.
