In 2013, Good Friday was declared a non-working day, and state television resumed broadcasting the festive service from the cathedral in Havana. In 2014, the government made Good Friday a public holiday.

Good Friday in Christianity

In the Catholic Church, this is the only day of the year when the Eucharist is not celebrated. During the day, the service of the Way of the Cross takes place, during which the priest and parishioners bypass the 14 "stands" located around the perimeter of each Catholic church of the Latin rite. In the evening, a special service of the Passion of the Lord takes place, which must necessarily begin after three o'clock in the afternoon (the time of the Savior's death on the cross). All covers, candles and the cross are removed from the altar. During the service, musical instruments and the ringing of bells are not used as a sign of sorrow for the Savior who died on the cross.

In Lutheranism, on Good Friday, the pastor wears a black robe. On this day, the Eucharist is not celebrated, the organ is silent, sermons are not delivered, the sacrament of confession is not performed. Candles are not lit on the altar. The color of the pulpit covers, the altar and the altar fence is black. The service consists of the singing of spiritual songs, alternating with the reading of gospel fragments dedicated to the execution of Jesus Christ. The conciliar prayer is said, the Our Father is sung.

In the Orthodox Church, in remembrance of the saving Passion of Christ, a special divine service has been established, called "Following the Holy and Saving Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ." It takes place on Thursday evening. This service arose from the tradition of the Jerusalem Church, to make a procession to places in Jerusalem associated with the Passion of Jesus Christ. During the procession, stops were made during which the relevant passages from the Gospel were read.

On Friday afternoon, the Shroud is taken out of the altars of Orthodox churches and placed in the middle of the church. During Good Friday and Great Saturday, believers venerate the Shroud.

Today, one of the main national holidays is celebrated in Romania - every year on December 1, Romanians celebrate the anniversary of the country's unification in 1918 and the formation of the Romanian state within its current borders.

The history of today's holiday - Day of National Unity of Romania(Ziua Marii Uniri / Great Union Day in Romania) - counts from December 1, 1918, when the representatives of the Romanians from Transylvania and Banat voted for unification with the Kingdom of Romania.

The First World War turned into a terrible disaster for the European peoples. Millions of people died and were maimed in a monstrous meat grinder, tens of millions became refugees. The countries along which the front lines passed suffered enormous destruction. Romania was among the states that found themselves at the epicenter of the disaster.

A small nation courageously took the side of Russia and the Entente. As a result, after a year and a half of fierce fighting, the country was occupied. The victory of the allies was achieved far from Romanian territory, but it was a common great victory of the peoples who stood for peace and justice against the cynical "struggle for a place in the sun."

Thanks to this victory, the Romanian people were able to fulfill the dream of their great thinkers - to gain national unity! Enormous creative energy, hopes and a burst of enthusiasm from all walks of life led to a qualitative breakthrough.

Romania traditionally celebrates this day with military parades and official speeches by popular political leaders in Bucharest. The national flag is hoisted over the buildings. Most citizens have a rest on Unity Day, in schools and universities this day is also a day off.
