4/18/14 re WHY is the DAY JESUS DIED CALLED "GOOD FRIDAY"?; search: Jesus,crucifixion,died on cross,karfreitag,sorrowful Friday,god Friday,...in fact
IN GERMANY it is CALLED "SORROWFUL FRIDAY",but in USA we say "good". Here's one explanation:
http://m.christianity.com/god/jesus-christ/what-s-so-good-about-good-friday.html
"... Still, why call the day of Jesus' death "Good
Friday" instead of "Bad Friday" or
something similar? Some Christian
traditions do take this approach: in
German, for example, the day is called
Karfreitag, or "Sorrowful Friday." In
English, in fact, the origin of the term
"Good" is debated: some believe it
developed from an older name, "God's
Friday." Regardless of the origin, the name
Good Friday is entirely appropriate
because the suffering and death of Jesus,
as terrible as it was, marked the dramatic
culmination of God's plan to save his
people from their sins...."

"...The etymology of the term "good" in the
context of Good Friday is contested.
Some sources claim it is from the senses
pious , holy of the word "good", [10]
while others contend that it is a
corruption of " God Friday". [11] The
Oxford English Dictionary supports the
first etymology, giving "of a day or
season observed as holy by the church"
as an archaic sense of good ( good , adj.
8c), and providing examples of good tide
meaning "Christmas" or "Shrove
Tuesday", and Good Wednesday meaning
the Wednesday in Holy Week. [12]..."
