    When is Good Friday?

    Western Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday (Easter minus two days). Orthodox Good Friday can differ — this page uses the Western Easter computation.

    Good Friday observances

    Many Christians attend somber church services, fast, or refrain from festive activities. In several countries it is a public holiday paired with Easter Monday.

    Long-weekend travel tips

    Book early when Easter falls late in spring break season. The wait-read line shows weekends remaining; open the calendar day to spot school closures nearby.
