First and foremost, Good Friday is the day Christ paid the debt for our sins with His unblemished blood. Good Friday is a day of strict fast and abstinence for anyone ages 14-59. This is the most solemn day of the Church's liturgical year. We are called to remember Christ's sacrifice - born of love and obedience - and express our deepest respect and gratitude for the salvation He won for us.
While not a Holy Day of Obligation (no Masses are celebrated on Good Friday) it is a very good idea to attend your parish's Good Friday service and the readings of the Stations of the Cross.
