Good Friday Description
A deeply observed Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Across this predominantly Catholic country, churches hold solemn afternoon services and Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) processions, particularly moving in cities like Salta and Córdoba. Most businesses, banks, and government offices close. Many Argentines observe the tradition of abstaining from meat, eating fish or vegetarian meals instead. The day is one of quiet reflection, forming part of the extended Easter weekend.
