On Good Friday, the only day of the year on which the Mass is not celebrated, the faithful instead receive Holy Communion from sacred Hosts consecrated the previous night.
The liturgical celebration focuses on the suffering and Death of the Lord as the Passion narrative from the Gospel of John is proclaimed, and the Holy Cross is adored and presented before the people for veneration.
Today is a day of fasting and abstaining from meat.
