Good morning snails. Tibs, AG, Fran, Katmar, Snails..........
You too, Dale.
Not to get preachy, but that's a strange term for such a day, isn't it? I was curious and I looked it up yesterday, because how is it that we call it "Good Friday" when Christ went through so much pain and suffering? The origins of the term are...varied. And in fact, in other countries, the term for the day isn't always "good". Tibs may know, I think the German term is different for example. (Addendum: See article below)
There's an old-English word guode that refers to holy/religious/Godly things. And then there's the "Only God is Good" concept with Christ following the will of God, even to the point of crucifixion with the world heaping its sins on him, and his overcoming, so he could redeem sinners. An ultimate good..."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." So even the worldly should be happy about that redemption and Godly/Good works.
But considering such a macabre situation, it's an odd term for the day in modern English.

Yeah, it is. Guess the end result is the "good" part of it
Hello all you Paas-coloured Snails.
Just been busy doing this, that and the other thing. Yard stuff, Easter dinner
food shopping, snow tires off / oil and filter change / wash / interior detail.
And yakkity-blah-blah-blah. Not all that much interesting or "new" on this end.
Only the usual mid-ish-April feeling of "gotta get things DONE before the annual
Run For The Annuals... scheduled for May 19 and 20.
Hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for the good weather ahead!

Happy Birthday, Fran's hubs!
Today is a rather quiet one and in a bit, will be headed over to Church for veneration of the Cross, and Good Friday is sometimes referred to as 'Long Friday' because the altar is stripped bare and the Blessed Sacrament is removed from the tabernacle on Holy Thursday.
