We have mentioned that Good Friday is a very important event for Christians. Now, you must understand the history of this religious event. Well, Christians all over the world mainly focus on the death of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. Jesus Christ along with his disciples went on the supper on the night before Jesus Christ died. This is called the ‘Last Supper’ as Jesus Christ died on the next day. Well, after having the supper, Jesus Christ visited the Garden of Gethsemane. In his ‘last hours’, he prayed to his father, and on the other side, his disciples were sleeping.
Before dawn, Jesus Christ was arrested. He was condemned as well as questioned. However, before putting him to death, those religious leaders needed permission from Rome. Therefore, they took him to the Pontius Pilate. Pilate did not find any suitable reason and so, he did not put any charge on Jesus Christ. Anyway, he discovered that Jesus Christ was actually from Galilee that comes under the jurisdiction of Herod. Pilate sent Jesus to Herod and there, Jesus did not answer any question asked by Herod. So, Herod again sent him to Pilate. Pilate knew that Jesus was not guilty. But, the crowds wanted him to be crucified and so, Pilate sentenced him to death.
Jesus was actually struck, mocked and brutally beaten.
