Good Friday 2009

Good Friday occurs on the Friday before Easter. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus.

Some scholars believe that "good" is a corruption of the word "God's" while others speculate that "good" was used to denote "holy". In Eastern Orthodox churches, the observance is known as Great Friday.
