    Good theology from Johnny Hart...

              Funny comic.
              But I wish it was called Grateful Friday, Solemn Friday, Redemption Friday, or something to that effect.

                      Nah, I don't hate it. It's good because God died for our sins, but not so good for Jesus to have been tortured. I'm conflicted.

                          Same thought here....so I did some research.

                          according to Fiona MacPherson, senior editor at the Oxford English Dictionary, the adjective traditionally "designates a day on (or sometimes a season in) which religious observance is held". The OED states that "good" in this context refers to "a day or season observed as holy by the church", hence the greeting "good tide" at Christmas or on Shrove Tuesday. In addition to Good Friday, there is also a less well-known Good Wednesday, namely the Wednesday before Easter.

                          The earliest known use of "guode friday" is found in The South English Legendary, a text from around 1290, according to the dictionary. According to the Baltimore Catechism - the standard US Catholic school text from 1885 to the 1960s, Good Friday is good because Christ "showed His great love for man, and purchased for him every blessing".

                              ....
                              In other words, Good Friday is interpreted as Holy Friday.
                              I like that.
