The term “Good Friday” is a translation of the Latin phrase “dies virginei” which means “Virgin’s day”. The earliest use of the phrase is found in a letter by Pope Damasus I to Bishop Himerius of Tarragona, written about 380.
The name of this holiday comes from the fact that it was believed to be on this day that Jesus was crucified. Jesus was called the Christ or Messiah, which means he was thought to be the savior of all people.
When Jesus Christ was crucified between two thieves, one of them mocked him saying, “If you’re really ***’s son, save yourself and us too.” Jesus replied, ” Amen , I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” On this Good Friday, Christians worship Jesus for saving the thief. After Jesus Christ died, he was buried on Friday. Christians celebrate his death and burial. It is believed that the day the Jesus Christ died is the happiest day of the year.
The term “Good Friday” is used to refer to the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified. It is a day of mourning and reflection for Christians, as they commemorate the suffering and death of Jesus. The name “Good Friday” is thought to be derived from the phrase “God’s Friday”, which was used in the Middle Ages. Some believe that the name may also come from the fact that Jesus died on a Friday, which was considered to be a good day to die according to pagan beliefs. Good Friday is a somber day, but it is also a day of hope, as Christians believe that Jesus’ death led to new life.
