Christians around the world are observing Good Friday, the day that marks the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Nate Wilcoxon of the West Liberty Church of God unapologetically talks about his faith and the holiday

Good Friday is part of Holy Week and comes the Friday before Easter.

It’s a quiet, serious day that sets the stage for Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday is all about celebrating Jesus rising from the dead.

Churches often hold upbeat services with music, readings, and sometimes sunrise gatherings.

Families come together to celebrate, share meals, and enjoy Easter traditions.

Good Friday is a moment to reflect on faith and sacrifice, while Easter Sunday is a chance to celebrate hope, renewal, and the promise of new life.
