Wonder how many people will have gone out and bought a fish dinner today, because 'Its what everyone does', without actually knowing the religious meaning of it?

While we are at it, why is it called Good Friday? If as we are led to believe, its the day Christ was crucified. Should'nt it be called Bad Friday? Whats good about crucifying a bloke?

It is called Good Friday because the day of the crucifixion of the Son of God officially broke the barrier of the sins of the world...

The majesty of this day will be celebrated on Easter day in the resurrection when the world will start afresh...

In modern days this is symbolised in the new beginnings of eggs...;-)

Only Catholics dont eat meat on Good Friday as an actual rule...although i shall be abstaining today...left footer up bringing.

Good is actually corruption a of God's friday, like goodbye coming from god be with you.

A lovely interpretation, but not true...

I was brought up in a anglican household and never ate meat on good friday. I'm out to lunch and while everyone else is tucking into cremated lamb - i'll be having fish cakes like the good catholic girl that I am.

I could write a list.... but it wouldn't be anything to do with religion.

And there was me thinking that eating fish on Friday was part of the modern tradition of Asda and Sainsbury's taking over festivals as an excuse to flog you stuff you wouldn't normally buy....
