Yes, i know that i said facts but the truth is that i am not very sure...haha...but some of these are facts.

1. Bells are not rung on Good Friday. It is such a solmmen day that no bells are to be rung. Instead, clappers are used.

2. Good Friday "mass" is not a mass but a service. The holy communion you ate was consecrated on Maunday Thursday.

3. People below the age of 18 need not fast and abstain on either Ash Wednesday and Good Friday ( Canon 1251, 1252). This is true. Read the ORDO on page 19.

4. Red is used for Good Friday services as the colour red signifies Jesuses' obedience to death. It also stands for fire and blood.

5. Good Friday is the only day in the whole church where a mass is prohibited.
