Orthodox Good Friday in Romania
Millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. The Orthodox Easter dates usually differ from the dates used by western churches because most Orthodox churches retained some version of the Julian calendar, which is older than the Gregorian calendar, commonly used today.
Is Orthodox Good Friday a Public Holiday?
Orthodox Good Friday is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
The crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ is remembered on Good Friday.
