Good Friday falls on 15th April 2022 which is a day for all Christians to commemorate Jesus’ crucifixion. It is a day for somber reflection where the Christians solemnly honor Jesus’ suffering in which he died on the cross for their sins. Good Friday is a crucial day of the year as it is the most momentous weekend in the history of the world where Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday are celebrated in the same week. Good Friday is also known as Holy Friday and Black Friday and it is an official public holiday in Malaysia but only within East Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.
