Good Friday is one of the strictest days of fasting and absence among Catholics. People shouldn’t eat meat or other delicate delights on this high holiday.

Good Friday is followed by Holy Saturday, the last day of Holy Week. On this day, believers commemorate the grave rest of Jesus. This is followed by Easter Sunday, the holiest of all church holidays in general. On that Sunday, Jesus Christ is said to have overcome death and to have risen. Easter Monday is followed by Easter Monday.

She got into the shoe,

shouted again briefly: "Oh, no!"

When she saw the scrambled eggs,

she already knew who that was. "
