There I was doing my homework on good friday, while wondering why they'd call it a "good" friday if it's the day Jesus died, unless they secretly really wanted Jesus dead or something, but that's probably not it. So I did a little modern-day research (Google) and came up with:
The name maybe derived from 'God's Friday' in the same way that good-bye is derived from 'god be with ye'.
It is good because the barrier of sin was broken.
Well now, there we go! Two questions answered at once. The origin of the 'bye' in good-bye had always puzzled me, and now I know - AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!
