WHY IS IT CALLED GOOD FRIDAY?
|
First Spring Flowers In My Yard! Copyright 2014 Marcia Norwood |
GOOD FRIDAY is an expression peculiar to the English language. It's called Karfreitag in German. "Kar" is an obsolete word - the ancestor of the English word "care" - as in cares and woes. It meant mourning. In German -- it is MOURNING FRIDAY.
The disciples mourned on the day Jesus Christ was crucified. They thought all was lost...but then came the resurrection!
Perhaps we call it GOOD FRIDAY because the crucifixion of Jesus on a cross brought about the greatest gift to mankind: salvation.
