But the day he was crucified doesn't always land on a Friday. Stupid holy see.
Bradly134
As a Catholic, I chuckled
ChickenSun
Reminds me of the Bill Hicks joke. 'If Jesus ever does come back a cross is going to be the last thing he wants to see.'
HypeasaurusRex
Its speculated that "good" was translated from "holy," as we might say "the good book." It may also have been "God friday"
SuurFett
"Tis a good day to die"
HereticsAllOfYou
'Good' doesn't mean 'happy.' It is a sad day that Christ accomplished a great good through self sacrifice.
MrT800
In French it's "Vendredi Saint", Holy Friday.
LetsGetThisOverWith
Well i think forgiving all of humanity's sins is enough to be called "good".
NothingButHighQualityContent
In bulgarian it's "Разпети петък" which roughly translates to Crucified friday. Like I think the name says it all.
plainPimple
in Croatian it´s Veliki Petak=Great Friday
Mgiggity
Bad Friday. Really bad Friday.
iShouldBeWorking42
As far as I know, for better or worse, we get a day off because some guy got nailed to a post.
slugworth70
Good used to mean holy way back when. That reminds me, why doesn't Jesus eat M&Ms? They fall through the holes in his hands.
Robvp
In Mexico is Viernes Santo, Holy Friday
WildBluntHickok
The real reason there's never been a 2nd coming: all his followers wear crucifixes. It's like Jesus-repellent.
IgnisLycanthropus
In Denmark we call it The Long Friday
Barkinsons
In German it's "Karfreitag", which means "friday of grief"
Fluffycorn
My birthday was yesterday on Karfreitag here in Germany ... It was one boring one.. cos some of my friends are "X-TREM" Catholik ... SO YEAH

GlennBecksChalkboard
Cause Jesus got ded that day. So, grief, but also big thx because ded for our sins and stuff.
HenryDorsettCase

J3LLYF1SH31
IKR? I wanted to go out and buy some candy erlier today and I didn't know that all the stores would be closed. Fucking bummed me out.
UncageTheSage
In Puerto Rico they call it Day of the Resurrection

It makes perfect sense if you understand Christian mythology.
TygrF
It's the same linguistic origin as the 'good' in "good-bye".
Deathfrombelow
Good bye day?
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
Goodbye is short for God be with you, so it'd just be God Friday.
TygrF
*God's , but yes.
ThomasjServo
GODDAY GODDAY GODDAY, AT THE METRODOME, GET YOUR SEATS FOR THE RESURRECTION. KIDS SEATS ARE STILL JUST 5 BUCKS.
TheCapnJoe
I think Crucifriday would be better.

I'll be back - Jesus, or Terminator.
noxiousSaucyBeast
Come with me if you want to live...could also be Jesus or the Terminator.

Jesus The Terminator.
DomeGuy
Terminator, obviously. Jesus never said he'd be back--He died, chilled in hell, and stopped by to see some buds on His way to Heaven.
sqlyoda
Then he went to North America to chill with the natives

Icameheretolaugh
Good Friday was the day he died, right? He was crucified Wed or Thurs?
JonestownClassPresident
On Friday. They had to rush his burial because they wouldn't be able to touch the body once the sun went down or they would be 1/2
JonestownClassPresident
Unclean for the Sabbath. Which for them is Saturday. 2/2
Kollejolle
In Norway it's "langfredag", long Friday. Was always told it was such a long day due to the pain of being crucified. Made a lot of sense tbh
0WN3DGAM1NG
In sweden its långfredagen
NotPopular
It's same in Finland, translates to long Friday or tall friday.
GermanGuyWhoWouldLoveToHaveAShorterUsername
German it's "Karfreitag", "kar" comes from old-german kara translating roughly into "sad".(feel free to correct me?).Freitag is just friday.
GirthBrookss
For some reason I always assumed Scandinavian countries weren't religious
FckMyAssholeWithYourBlood
We are over that shit
Kollejolle
These days you're right, but it wasn't always like that
Rantaf
We have a Christian cross in all our flags. Should be obvious.
ImakeAnewAccountEverytime
Only on paper. Love the holiday tho
TheNorthernSkeptic
Its more of a cultural thing now for most. But there are some who are still believe. Some also believe in Santa and Flat Earth. Crazy world.
Verldemert
We are on paper. In Denmark, Christianity is much more about cultural heritage than actual faith.
Telruin
I think there is a law here in Norway that at least 50% of our government have to be Christian (at least on paper)
Telruin
I'm not sure why it's downvoted... it used to be true (turns out the law was removed in 2012)
J3LLYF1SH31
Same here in iceland " föstudagurinn langi" means long friday.
LadyScifiDog
Seems like all your Fridays are long...

Heyrðu nú mig

Do you now hear me?
bjarki
Not exactly

You can't translate it directly
tehflan
Because by being crucified He defeated death. That's pretty dang good.
GlennBecksChalkboard
I think you are mixing up the Bible and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
woobboomooboo
It’s good because he gave his life as a ransom sacrifice to wipe away original sin for humans. Allegedly
notupinhurr
I don't think dying on the cross qualifies as besting death lol. Now, 3 days later, that's something. But I'm pretty sure death won round 1
aGrumpyPotato
Interpretations, interpretations, I see a 3 day long fight, you see a 3 days later rematch.
gamewarrior48
"Dying He destroyed our death, rising He restored our life"
HereticsAllOfYou
Spoken like a Protestant heretic. Death paid the price, resurrection was demonstrating the price was paid and defeated death.
notupinhurr
Raised Lutheran, high school with Jesuits. Good eye! I'm genuinely impressed lol
TehStoner
I love that people are arguing as if it actually happened...
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
People argue about fiction all the time.
Toadman360
Death beat Jesus first, like Apollo Creed and Rocky? Does that mean Easter is Rocky II?
notupinhurr
Absolutely. It gets really sad in the 4th movie, where death gets killed by the Russian
TheRicM
tacoparlor
I have too many points, so I'm just gonna say it. Christians believe some weird shit.
ItsDrP
Hey it's been an hour and You're doing not too bad so far -Christian
tehflan
Haha, true enough. I don't have a better explanation for the empty tomb though.
annibe11e
If it happened.
tehflan
No one ever found a dead body.
IdLikeToRideAPigIntoBattle
No records of the empty tomb either
