In German-speaking countries, the Good Friday is generally referred as Karfreitag (Kar from Old High German kara‚ "bewail", "grieve"‚ "mourn", Freitag for "Friday") : Mourning Friday.

The Kar prefix is an ancestor of the English word care in the sense of cares and woes; it meant mourning.

The day is also known as Stiller Freitag ("Silent Friday") and Hoher Freitag ("High Friday, Holy Friday").

According to the accounts in the Gospels, the Temple Guards, guided by Jesus' disciple Judas Iscariot, arrested Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
