Understanding the Meaning and Significance of Good Friday in South Africa

In South Africa, Good Friday is an important day of reflection and penitence commemorating the death of Jesus Christ. It provides an opportunity for South African citizens to reflect on the great sacrifices Jesus made in his short life and draw inspiration from it. It is a solemn holiday, a day of repentance, fasting and prayer for South Africans, who observe the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Good Friday is traditionally observed as a time for personal reflection and reaffirmation of faith.

This special day is celebrated throughout the Christian world but for South Africa it has a special significance. For many years it has been associated with the ending of the Apartheid regime and its accompanying oppression and struggle. The day serves as a reminder to South Africans of the inherent people’s freedoms, self-respect and responsible citizenship they enjoy as a result of the sacrifices of many of the country’s freedom fighters. But more than that, it is an opportunity to reflect on the real meaning of love, faith, hope and resiliency.

Episodes depicted during Good Friday evoke a range of powerful and emotional thoughts and observations. Events ranging from Jesus falling three times while carrying the cross to the ultimate loss of freedom that is the death of Jesus Christ. These events remind and encourage South Africans to adhere to commitment, love and faith.

The Good Friday Procession (as part of the Holy Week) is an important religious tradition for South Africans and a time for spiritual recollection. During the procession, images of Jesus Christ’s sorrowful way of the cross pass through the streets. Good Friday is a day of profound contemplation and reflection - a day of mourning and remembering the suffering endured by a great man.

Going to Mass on Good Friday is an important spiritual exercise for South Africans and a time for reaffirming one’s faith. Mass is an opportunity to spiritually renew and reaffirm through prayer, hymns and Gospel readings, that Jesus Christ has given us immense love, hope and guidance in overcoming evil, sickness and injustice.

Good Friday is also a time for fasting and personal reflection in accordance with conventional Christian practices. It is a time to abstain from fatty foods and more luxurious activities. Fasting is seen as being beneficial in maintaining a higher consciousness of one’s deeper spiritual life.

From an economic standpoint, Good Friday also results in a number of lost working days as it is a public holiday. This is beneficial for the South African economy as it stimulates the travel industry and fosters community, spending time with family and friends.
