As a kid I thought, "Why do they call this Good Friday? How was it good for Jesus?" I did not know about the various theories stating that Good may have come from Good meaning God or Holy.
It was Good Friday was good for Jesus -- if he was a masochist.
It was Good Friday for the vendors who sold pizza, peanuts, popcorn, potato chips, pop and beer to the crowds that gathered to watch Jesus on parade, and then attend the Crucifixion.
It was Good Friday for the Roman Centurions who racked up the overtime.
So, we have Good Friday and Easter Sunday. What about Saturday? How come Saturday doesn't get to enhance its name at Easter. How about Good Saturday? Sad Saturday? Easter Eve? Hurry-Up-Tomorrow Saturday?
This was Good for me. Was it Good for you?
