Good Friday 2026
Good Friday follows The Friday before Easter Sunday, in Holy Week. It runs for about 1 day in the regions where it is observed.
A common question is why the date moves. The Hindu calendar is lunisolar: it tracks the moon for months and the sun for years, which means the civil date of a lunar festival drifts by up to about a fortnight from one year to the next. Islamic festivals follow the purely lunar Hijri calendar and move roughly eleven days earlier every year, subject to moon sighting. A handful of festivals — Makar Sankranti, Vaisakhi, Pongal and the other solar ones — stay on nearly the same date. The entry below tells you which of these applies here.
The most rigorous observance in India. Good Friday fasting is widely kept, the traditional meal is kanji and payar, and most businesses close. The Way of the Cross processions in parishes such as Arthunkal and Malayattoor draw very large crowds — Malayattoor is one of the major Catholic pilgrimage sites in the country.
Large street-level Way of the Cross processions, with parishes in Panaji, Margao and Mangalore holding multi-hour public processions that the wider community attends.
The East Indian parishes in Bandra, Mazagaon and Khotachiwadi observe Good Friday with extensive processions and church services, and the day is a public holiday.
Observed in Kanyakumari, Tuticorin and the districts with significant Catholic populations, with afternoon services and fasting.
Good Friday is a public holiday and a strictly observed day, with church services across the states and businesses remaining largely closed.
