Good Friday ("Viernes Santo" in Spanish) is a significant religious holiday in Argentina, which predominantly follows the Roman Catholic faith. This day commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.
Historical Context: Good Friday is part of the Holy Week ("Semana Santa"), which also includes Maundy Thursday (the day of the Last Supper) and leads up to Easter Sunday (celebrating Jesus' resurrection). The date varies each year as it is based on the lunar calendar, falling on the Friday before Easter Sunday.

What People Do: As Good Friday is a public holiday in Argentina, many businesses are closed. People often use this time off to gather with family or partake in religious activities. The quietness on this day contrasts with celebrations that occur on Easter Sunday.
