About the countdown to Good Friday
Good Friday is tied to Easter, so it moves between late March and late April.
It is a public holiday in many countries.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next Good Friday falls in ISO week 12 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
