It's calculated based on a Lunisolar calculator, which is borrowed from Judaism. The date it lands on is related to Passover.
Good Friday is the only day for that. But, I mean, it is considered the actual day that Jesus died, just by the Jewish calendar rather than the Gregorian one. Historically there has been more than one calendar.
our calendar is political, not celestial. if they were too much aligned with natural phenomena, that would be pagan and bad. I mean, what do you want, 13 months of exactly 28 days + 1 special day at the end of the year that isn't part of the seven day cycle. then every day of every month would line up with the same moon phase and be the same day of the week.
sounds like some kind of Mayan thing. 13 is unlucky don't you know.
I just celebrate it when the Catholics do they seem like the types to do the math on that
Also, how does literally getting crucified become a “Good Friday”?? That’s pretty horrible Friday if you ask me.
Same reason Ramadan and Chinese New Year change dates on the Gregorian Calendar: the dates of these things are all based on different, Lunar calendars.
Their date doesn't exactly change, what changes is the correspondence of their calendars with the Gregorian Calendar.
Our custom is to base birthdays on Gregorian, not a lunar calendar.
For Christmas the Christians use Gregorian and for Easter they don't. Idk why
An ancient holiday calculated according to an ancient calendar.
If it was the same date every year then it wouldn't always fall on a Friday.
There is an incongruity between Christmas and Easter in the timing, for sure.
