The ‘Good’ in Good Friday comes from old English when Good meant Holy. So you could call Good Friday, ‘Holy Friday’. According to the Bible, the son of God was flogged, ordered to carry the cross on which he would be crucified and then put to death.
However, many see the term ‘Good Friday’ as proper, because the suffering and death of Jesus marked God’s plan to save his people from their sins.
