Good Friday. The Friday before
Easter, kept as the anniversary of the Crucifixion. It is a day of fast, abstinence, and penance.
The present RC rite consists of: lessons and prayers, with the singing of the Passion according to Jn.; the
Veneration of the Cross, with the chanting of the
Reproaches and
Trisagion; and a General Communion of the people with Hosts reserved on
Maundy Thursday (see PRESANCTIFIED, MASS OF THE). The C of E provides for a normal celebration of the Eucharist, but until recently this rarely happened. In modern Anglicanism a form of service akin to the current RC rite has been fairly widely adopted. Of the extraliturgical devotions the best known is the
Three Hour Service. In Continental Protestantism Good Friday is often a special day for the administration of the Lord's Supper. In the
Orthodox Church Vespers ends with the solemn veneration of the
epitaphion, and
Mattins of Holy Saturday (on Good Friday night) finishes with a symbolic burial service of Christ.
