Good Friday is the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified and is dedicated to his suffering.
Good Friday is the day when the strictest fasting is observed. By abstaining from water and food, believers express their compassion for Christ's suffering. The faith commands that no work of any kind be undertaken on that day.
In the Christian churches in Bulgaria, a replica of the Holy Shroud is taken out as symbol of Jesus Christ’s divine presence on earth. Believers pass underneath the shroud and pray for health and divine favour.
There is no mass on Good Friday, but the Royal Hours are held.
