Good Friday, observed annually on the Friday before Easter, is the day when Christians commemorate the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Since the early days of Christianity, Good Friday has been dedicated to sorrow, penance, and fasting—a sentiment captured in the German term Karfreitag, meaning "Sorrowful Friday."
Additionally, the second and fourth Saturdays remain designated as bank holidays nationwide.
