Crowds of people take part in processions in a number of Mexican towns and cities. The processions include actors carrying large crosses to reenact Jesus’ final moments before his death. Good Friday is a solemn day when churches are often draped in dark colors.

Many people travel on vacation during the Holy Week long weekend so tourist destinations, particularly along the coast of Mexico, can be quite busy.

Most banks and schools are closed in Mexico on Good Friday. Traffic and public transport may be stalled in streets where there are Good Friday processions in Mexico.

Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion in Mexico, so Good Friday is part of the Holy Week (Semana Santa) events across the country and within the church worldwide
