On Good Friday, Jesus Christ died on the cross. He died for us. But he only died in human form. He then arose from the dead on Easter Sunday morning to show us that there is life after death in heaven. Good Friday, also called "Dark Friday", is a day of solemn prayer and the final day of fasting for the long lenten season.
Christ was nailed to the cross at noon. His death came at three o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, christians should spend in prayer and
silence.
耶穌拒絕了魔鬼的誘惑,受到了猶大的出賣。他被羅馬人帶到了羅馬政權主持者比拉多那裏。比拉多本來不想處死耶穌——他明知這樣會引起一場政治風波。於是,他讓希律王建議如何決斷這件事。
希律王把耶穌的命運交到了人們手上。但是,愚蠢的民眾寧願放過罪犯,也不能容忍耶穌逃過刑罰。受盡苦難的耶穌還遠遠不能滿足人們的願望。他們要把耶穌推上絞刑架。
比拉多順從民意,耶穌走往執行絞刑的山頭。一路上,人們瘋狂的往他身上扔雜物,耶穌受難日成為民眾狂歡日。
耶穌的雙手被釘在十字架上,這時還沒有人意識到這一幕永遠被後世銘記。
耶穌受難日地震(又稱安克雷奇地震、阿拉斯加大地震)發生於1964年3月27日星期五,當天正好是耶穌受難日,是美國和北美曆史上最大的地震。是有紀錄以來世界第三大地震。裏氏震級約為8.5至8.6級,而矩震級為9.2級。
