Still Waters Posted April 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It is the day when Christians commemorate Jesus Christ's crucifixion. So why is it called Good Friday? According to the Bible, the son of God was flogged, ordered to carry the cross on which he would be crucified and then put to death. It's difficult to see what is "good" about it. http://www.bbc.co.uk...onitor-27067136 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
