On Good Friday, all churches commemorated the crucifixion and death of the Lord

The day of Christ's crucifixion is a day of sorrow for all Christians. On Good Friday, the Divine Liturgy is not celebrated, because Christ himself was crucified on the cross. The clergy read from the four Gospels the episodes describing the last hours of Jesus' earthly life: being taken to Pilate, his crucifixion on Golgotha, the surrender of his spirit, and the signs that followed: the eclipse of the sun, the tearing of the temple curtain.
