It Is Good Friday 2026. This is the day that Christians remember the day when Jesus was nailed to the cross and died in humanity's place As Matthew 27 : 32 reads : As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. They came to a place called Golgotha ( which means the place of the skull ) There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall, but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. When they crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. Above His head they placed the charge against him : THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Two thieves were crucified with him,

one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, " You who are going to destroy the temple and build it three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son Of God!" In the same way, the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders mocked him. " He saved others, " they said. " But he can't save himself! He's the king of Israel. Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts God. Let God rescue him now if He wants him, for he said, ' I am the Son Of God." In the same way the thieves who were crucified with him heaped insults on him From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all of the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice " Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? "

When some of those standing there heard this, they said " he's calling Elijah." Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, " now leave him

alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."

When Jesus cried out again he said “ Asah tetelestai “ and gave up his spirit. At that moment the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom . The earth shook, the rocks split

When a centurion saw the earthquake and everything that had happened he said “ surely this was the Son of God “
