Have you ever wondered why Good Friday was called Good Friday? It is the day that Jesus was on the cross and was crucified, I wouldn’t exactly call it good (well, for him at least). I guess I always thought it’s because the outcome was good or maybe because what he did for the sinners was good.
According to Wikipedia here’s the real reason:
It is likely that the name "Good Friday" came from the earlier English name, "Godes Friday," meaning "God's Friday." In much the same way as "God be with ye" was shortened to "goodbye," so did "Godes Friday" become "Good Friday."
Now you know and don’t have to wonder anymore.
