Meaning of Good Friday & Easter Sunday

Dear class,

As we are enjoying this extra day of holiday, I wish to share with you the meaning of this public holiday.
Good Friday is a day where Christians like myself commemorate Jesus's death on the cross for man's sins.
According to the bible, Jesus was crucified on the cross by the Roman soldiers. Crucification in those times was a way to punish any one who had broken any laws and it has been considered even up to today as the most cruel form of punishment known to man.

You may click on the Wiki link below to read up more about the significance of this day. Easter Sunday is to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus as on the third day, He is believed by Christians to have overcome death.
