Over the past few years I got to learn a lot of different translations of 'Good Friday'.
Everybody knows what it is for, but in some regions it is interpreted differently than in others...
For example - It is clear that this Friday should be 'Good' because the Lord, our God died on this day on the cross to cleanse us of our sins (and that's the GOOD side). However --- in some places the translation is not 'good' but 'Sad Friday' (literally). This is because everybody here grieves the death of our savior and do not give much stress upon the point that he had died for 'us' and that he does resurrect (they emphasize these points only on Easter).
Whatever the translation or interpretation may be, we must always remember that Jesus died for us and we are supposed praise God for it. Mourning and grieving is really pointless if you consider the fact that this was all prophesied beforehand and was meant to happen...
So enjoy the day and never lose your faith in the Lord...
