This celebration of Good Friday by the Orthodox Christian church observes the religious day according to the Julian calendar, which takes place after most other celebrations of Easter in April or May. While most Christian churches changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, the Orthodox Church chose to keep the Julian calendar. Also known as Holy Friday, this day marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The day is considered a solemn day of mourning, lacking any of the festive themes of the following Easter observance. https://wilstar.com/
