SUMMARY:Orthodox Good Friday
DESCRIPTION:Orthodox Christian churches in the United States generally observe Good Friday at a later date than the Good Friday date observed by many western churches. Good Friday focuses on Jesus Christ’s death\, which is described in the Christian bible. The day is also known as Great Friday\, Holy Friday\, and Holy and Great Friday. \nIs Orthodox Good Friday a Public Holiday?\nAlthough Orthodox Good Friday is not a public holiday\, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as Good Friday in 2025\, which is a public holiday in 11 states. \nWhat Do People Do?\nGreat Friday is a strict day of fasting for many Greek Orthodox Christians in the United States. Some Orthodox churches begin observing Holy Friday on Thursday night where the liturgy’s main feature is the reading of 12 sections from the gospels\, all of which are accounts of Jesus Christ’s passion. Other churches may have a Good Friday liturgy in the evening.  Some priests remove icons of Jesus from crosses and wrap them in linen to reenact ancient burial rites. \nSome Orthodox Bulgarian churches have special traditions\, which include allowing people to pass under a table in the middle of the church and light a candle after the church bell rings. This ritual is believed to wash away one’s sins. Many families of the Orthodox Christian faith may spend time on Great Friday to decorate Easter eggs as part of the Easter preparations. \nPublic Life\nGreat Friday is not a federal public holiday in the United States. However parking conditions may be affected near churches where Great Friday liturgies are held\, particularly in busy urban areas. \nBackground\nMany Orthodox churches retained the Julian calendar after the Gregorian calendar was introduced in Europe in 1582. Therefore they often follow a different Easter date compared with many western churches. Easter holidays\, such as Good Friday\, are “moveable feasts” as these dates change according to calendar calculations. \nThere are different types of Orthodox churches that are well-established in the United States\, including the Greek Hellenic Orthodox Church\, the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America\, and the Russian Orthodox Church. The Russian Orthodox Church in North America can be traced back to the late 18th century\, where a Russian church was built on Kodiak Island in Alaska during that period.  Alaska was previously part of Russia until the United States bought the land. The number of Greek Orthodox churches grew as Greek immigration increased after the late 19th century in the United States. \nSymbols\nMany Orthodox Christian families prepare Easter eggs\, which are beautifully decorated and often dyed red to symbolize the Jesus Christ’s blood. \nAbout Orthodox Good Friday in Other Countries\nRead more about Orthodox Good Friday.
