Good Friday, according to the trusty Wikipedia, is
a holy day celebrated by Christians on the Friday before Easter or Pascha. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. Special prayer services are often held on this day with readings from the Gospel accounts of the events leading up to the crucifixion. Mainstream Christian churches view Christ's crucifixion as a voluntary and vicarious act, and one by which, along with his resurrection on the third day, death itself was conquered.Yikes.
Christians are nutty.
I'm totally gonna commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus by goin' shopping, taking a nap, cleaning my room, getting a haircut, and playing Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within on my PS2.
...yeah, love that Wikipedia. Check out this absolutely fascinating entry for 'shibboleth.'
...I'm wondering if there is a way to convince my boss that I need to have Jewish holidays off too. Jews for Jesus? Yeah, I know they're just nutty. But isn't there some religious sect somewhere that celebrates all of 'em?
