Good Friday
Holy Week (Palmarum through Good Friday) · Historic Lenten weekday Mass
Lent 2020–2021 Church Year Purple

Appointed Readings

First Lesson
Hosea 5:15b-6:6 pre-LSB
Second Lesson
Exodus 12:1-11 pre-LSB
Gospel (Passion)
John 18:1-19:42

Exodus 12 (the Passover lamb) stands here historically, not on Maundy Thursday.

Good Friday has no introit and no Collect of the Day: the Mass of the Presanctified opens in silence with the lessons, and its prayers are the Solemn Collects said after the Passion.
