Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Jesus' crucifixion called 'Good' Friday if it was tragic?+

Good Friday is called 'good' because Christians believe Jesus' death on the cross brought salvation and redemption to humanity. Though the crucifixion itself was a sorrowful event, its spiritual significance—Christ's sacrifice for sin—is viewed as ultimately good news for believers.

Why do Christians celebrate Easter on different dates each year?+

Easter's date changes annually because it is calculated based on the lunar calendar. Easter is observed on the first Sunday following the first full moon occurring on or after the spring equinox (March 21), combining both solar and lunar calendar elements.

What is the significance of Palm Sunday in Holy Week?+

Palm Sunday marks Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, one week before His crucifixion. Crowds waved palm branches and greeted Jesus as the Messiah, but within days many of those same people called for His execution, illustrating the dramatic turn of events during Holy Week.
