Whatever day you believe to be the actual day of the crucifixion, today- Good Friday is the the day much of the Christian world commemorates the sacrifice Our Lord made to save us and reconcile us to himself.
May we ever thank The Lord!
Today is still a national holiday. Despite the increasing erosion of Christianity from public life, my neighbourhood is quiet. Most people are off work, the schools and banks are closed, most of the shops are closed. Most public services operate only Sunday hours if at all.
Perhaps the majority of people are watching telly and eating chocolate rabbits but everyone (Christian or otherwise) knows the significance of this day. It remains a witness to the sacrifice of Jesus. Not many today could claim they haven't heard of Jesus and his sacrifice.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Thank you Jesus
