Good Friday vs. Long Friday

[ragazzo]

In the US, it's called Good Friday. In some european countries, it's called Long Friday. Does anyone know why? Heh.

Maybe its because it leads to a long weekend?


"The Saxons and Danes called this day Long Friday, and Good Friday in Danish is Langfreday. "

Thanks for the effort, but that only tells me what the Saxons and Danes call that day. Doesn't tell me why 🙂
