Good Friday, two days before Easter Sunday, marks the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a public holiday in the UK and in India; in Britain hot cross buns - spiced, with a cross on top - are its traditional food.

Easter is set by the Moon: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21. So Good Friday moves between March 20 and April 23.
