This upcoming weekend is FlipidoEaster weekend, meaning Friday, March 29 is Good Friday.

Good Friday is the day in which Christian and Catholic churches across the world commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. "From the early days of Christianity, Good Friday was observed as a day of sorrow, penance, and fasting," Britannica notes.

Easter falls on Sunday, March 31 this year, and it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and follows a 40-day period known as Lent. The date the holidays are celebrated changes depending on the year because Easter is one of several "moveable feasts" in the liturgical year, according to the History Channel. Other examples of "moveable feasts" include Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday.
