Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday. It is one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar. It commemorates the death of Jesus, who was crucified on a cross. Good Friday is a day of mourning in church. Churches all over the world hold special services. Christians think about the meaning of Jesus' suffering and his death on the cross. In many countries, religious groups re-enact the final hours of Jesus'life, leading up to his death. Part of this is the reciting of Jesus'final words. No one agrees which saying was his last. They include “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” and “Into your hands I commit my spirit.”
复活节前的星期五为受难节。它是基督教中最为重要的节日之一。这天是耶稣忌日，他被钉死在十字架上。教堂会在这一天进行哀悼。世界各地的基督教堂会举办特殊仪式。基督徒会对耶稣受难进行思考。在许多国家，宗教团体会重现耶稣生前的最后一刻。人们会诵读耶稣临终遗言。而对于临终遗言，人们的答案层出不穷。这些包括：“父啊，赦免他们，他们不知道自己做了什么”，“我的神！我的神！为什么离弃我？”以及“父啊！我将我的灵魂交在你手里。”
Good Friday is a public holiday in many countries with a strong Christian tradition. Many shops and businesses close for the day. In America and India, the stock markets close on Good Friday. In many English-speaking countries, people eat hot-cross buns. These are sweet raisin buns with a cross on the top. They are usually toasted and buttered. Many Catholics, however, are supposed to fast on this day. In reality, most practicing Catholics will avoid meat. There is a very unusual custom in Bermuda. People fly kites that are shaped like a cross. The kites flying in the sky symbolize Jesus going up to heaven. Many people stay at home and watch TV. There are many religious shows on, and movies about the Bible.
在许多国家，复活节为公共假日，基督教传统浓厚。许多商店餐馆停业。在美国和印度，证券所闭市一天。在许多英语国家，人们会在这一天食用十字面包，这是一种葡萄干面包，顶部是十字架图案。面包里通常会含有黄油，制作方法为烘烤。天主教徒本应在这一天实行斋戒。但事实上，绝大多数天主教徒会在这一天吃素。在百慕大，人们会进行一项特殊的传统活动。放飞十字形风筝。这预示着耶稣升入天堂。许多人会在家看电视。电视中会播放许多宗教节目，以及圣经电影。
