That's when the last supper took place and then Jesus went into the garden of Gethsemene to pray and was arrested.

During Palm Sunday, worshipers carry palm fronds and celebrate Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. In some areas, there are pageants in which worshipers act out the parts of various Biblical characters, such as Pontius Pilate or St. Peter (sometimes, this is done in a readers'  theatre style).\n\nHoly Monday, Holy Tuesday and Holy Wednesday are somewhat understated. They may have regular prayer services, but there could be other observances during this time (Tenebrae, the Stations of the Cross, etc). \n\nMaundy Thursday is a somber celebration of the institution of the Eucharist, and the service generally concludes with the stripping of the altar.\n\nGood Friday is a very solemn service, and in some cases, statuary, crucifixes and other worship aids are draped in black. There are prayers and Scripture readings, particularly one of the Passion Gospels, and the Eucharist is made with the reserve host from Maundy Thursday. \n\nHoly Saturday is also known as the Easter Vigil. In many churches, there are baptisms and confirmations at this time. The service often begins in darkness, and the church is slowly lit with candlelight. Sometimes, bells are rung, and in other areas, it will be the first time since the beginning of Lent in which the word "Alleluia" can be uttered. \n\nThen comes Easter Sunday, and we all know what happens then. It is a very festive service, celebrating the resurrection of Christ.\n\nHere's a link to an introductory essay that explains the cycle of the church year:\n\nhttp://www.faithwriters.com/article-details.php?id=35824

I've been to both. In reality, Jesus, and all others, when they were crucified, by Jewish custom had to be taken down from the cross (dead) before sunset Friday, which is why the Roman soldier put the spear through his side. They usually broke the legs of those crucified on the cross to hasten their death, but since Bible prophecy said that none of Jesus' bones would be broken, they stabbed him instead. So, I think they ought to have Good Friday services just before sunset, but in reality it doesn't really matter. It's the commemoration of the event that matters.

I believe the 2nd story is correct. Not sure about the follower part, but yes, another man was subsituted. See, Jesus was pulled into the heavens and will return before the Day of Judgement, symbolizing that the Day of Judgement is near. So, yes, God did not kill Jesus.

Good Friday is the day that Jesus died so we celebrate it in honoring of his death. Here are some websites where you can read a little more about it.\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry/GoodFrid\nhttp://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06643a.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday

God gave us one day per week to rest and spend time with Him. It is the last day of the week which is Saturday on our calender. On Good Friday we remember the crucifixion, \nhis side was pierced so they could take him down from the cross because the next day was the Sabbath. Then He rose on Sunday and we celebrate new life and a new week.\nFor me it's Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

First of all, Jesus wasn't buried in the ground.  Secondly, there were guards placed outside of the tomb for such an occasion as the apostles stealing the body.  Jesus still arose on the third day and appeared to more than 500 people before His ascension, despite their supposedly failsafe methods of protecting the "dead" body.\n\nMatthew 27:62-66\n 62The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63"Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' 64So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."\n\n 65"Take a guard," Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how." 66So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.

26And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”\n28And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”\n29Jesus said to him, £“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”  John 20:26-29\n\nWe are promised that if we seek Him we will find Him.  Search His word, pray for wisdom.  \n\nHe doesn't speak to us today as He did to the Patriarchs, but He speaks to us in every sunrise, every sunset, everything beautiful.

Dear me.....Jesus who died for you is God in the flesh he has been a part of God forever and he is in total agreement with the father now understand a first born son could be 999 years old also understand that the passover happens today if you do not have the blood of Jesus covering your sins you are a dead man. Seek God and his word for understanding.God's nature is the same today yesterday and tommorow. It is righteous and merciful...God's righteousness demands we be perfect and yet we are not. It is the reason God willingly laid down his flesh to atone for your sin.

This is how I was saved:\n\nVirgin Birth - Was it a preconceived notion?\n\nWhat is the Imacculate Conception?\n\nAn Imacculate Deception?\n\nDid Jesus give up Saturday for us?\n\nJesus? Christianity? .\n\nIf Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.\n\nGods do not die? Do they?\n\nIf Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed? \n\nIf Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.\n\nIf Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead! \n\nIf you swallow this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to swallow it too. \n\n\nThey want everyone to convert to their non-thinking.

The Religious leaders asked Jesus, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"\n\nMark 14:62.  And Jesus said, "I AM; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." \n\nThen they tore their clothes and yelled, "Blasphemy!". \n\nJesus said He was coming.  I believe Him.

Jesus Christ was executed on the Friday before Easter.  He was executed on a Friday.  That's why it is called Good Friday.
