[Listening to: Sweet The Sting - Tori Amos - The Beekeeper (04:16)]
I have always wondered why the Holy Week Friday was known in English as Good Friday. First of all, if you are a Catholic, the death of the Christ, even for Salvation's sake, should not be good at all. I would personally call it Sad Friday, Mourn Friday, or something of the sort. Whatever the case, there is another oddity about this particular Friday. In France, a relatively Catholic country I would say, this Friday people work (here I am), but the real holiday is Monday. I am thinking, is this a sign that the actual celebration is the resurrection, or is it simply a misconception on the part of the French?
