Originally posted by KRL I can't even remember what Good Friday is actually for and why they call it that.
The day they put Jesus on the cross. Don't know the exact meaning behind the phrase but I follow the general traditions involved with the day (no meat, etc),
Good Friday is a special day celebrated by Christians on the Friday before Easter or Pascha. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Special prayer services are often held on this day with readings from the Gospel accounts of the events leading up to the crucifixion. Many Christians view Christ's crucifixion as a voluntary and vicarious act by which death itself was conquered, not as a temporary defeat overturned by His resurrection on the third day.
In Early Modern English, good had a meaning of "holy".
