Anglican churches typically hold special services on Good Friday. These services will include reading the Passion narrative from the Gospels, which recounts the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion. Many congregations observe a period of silence or meditation to reflect on the gravity of the day.
The liturgy often includes the Veneration of the Cross, where parishioners can approach and show reverence for a wooden cross, symbolizing Christ’s sacrifice. The service may also feature hymns that focus on themes of suffering and redemption, as well as prayers that seek to express sorrow for sin and a desire for reconciliation.
Fasting and abstinence from meat are standard practices on Good Friday among Anglicans, reflecting a spirit of mourning. The day is not a celebration but a time for deep introspection on the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice and the hope of resurrection that follows on Easter Sunday.
Good Friday serves as a crucial moment in the liturgical calendar, reminding Anglicans of the depth of Christ’s love and the foundation of their faith through his suffering and death.
