Good Friday commemorates Jesus Christ's crucifixion, and occurs two days before Easter Sunday.. It is not a federal holiday in the United States, although it is a state holiday in some areas. However, many financial markets and some businesses are closed on Good Friday. Many students have this day off from school. Eggs are being dyed, hams are being planned, and spring is blooming.
Some Christians may attend special church services or prayer vigils. Good Friday is a day of mourning and quiet prayer for many Christians. The candles are often extinguished and statues, paintings and crosses may be draped in black, purple or gray cloth. Some Catholics treat Good Friday as a day of fasting, while others observe a partial fast involving the exclusion of meat.

Good Friday is another day at work for many Americans, as it is not a national holiday. Some people may choose to take a day off work and have a long "Spring Break" weekend. Drive Safe.
