The name may be derived from 'God's Friday' in the same way that good-bye is derived from 'God be with ye'.

In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland the day is called Great Friday.

Im not sure why its called Good Friday but i think it was named by the same person who invented the 'lucky rabbits foot' on a key-chain.


That wasnt such a lucky thing for the rabbits either.
