Jesus: is crucified

Catholics: “Look at how good this Friday is”

Getting brutally tortured and crucified sounds like a pretty terrible Friday to me. An actual Good Friday would be like, Jesus getting high with his buddies and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on the PS1 while eating pizza.

Can someone please explain this.

EDIT: How about “Good Friday” but it’s Jesus getting high with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.

    Besides, I think days in Jewish tradition end at sundown (I know this from having Jewish coworkers, for whom Shabbat started at sundown on Friday), and Jesus was supposed to die on Friday afternoon.

      That still makes Friday the first day, Saturday the second, and Sunday the third. It checks out.

      Maybe, but even that would depend on when the tomb was opened or whatever, which I can't remember offhand

        Late at night on Saturday or Sunday morning (around midnight roughly)

          So yeah, two sundowns have passed making it simultaneously "two days later" and "on the third day"

          It's just a conflict between modern and archaic terminology
