Why is it called Good Friday? "Good Friday" comes from the obsolete sense "pious, holy" of the word "good". Also: "the good book" for the Bible.
Christians in parts of Europe call it Great Friday or Holy Friday.
Good Friday — the Friday before Easter — marks the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross for the sins of the world. The term Good Friday might be a bit confusing if you associate good with happy. Good Friday isn’t a happy day.
It’s also a day of gratitude for the supreme sacrifice that Jesus Christ made.
