dear Sprint,
how can it be good Friday when they crucified God?
My thoughts on this are only mine.
I have no references to refer to.
'Easter' was the original celebration of a survival through winter.
It is scheduled for the first full moon after the equinox. In the Northern hemisphere.
So if you survived winter, that was a good thing.
Hence it was good.
How did that relate to Jesus?
Well, it didn't.
The Romans run a good society. They probably already had all sorts of celebrations at Easter anyway.
From the Romans point of view, Jesus and these troublesome Christians seem to be a growing phenomenon, they want a time for their celebration. Let them march with ALL the other groups during Easter.
Causes no interruption, settles these new Christian down , everyones happy.
If that is how it happened, it was a good idea from the Romans.
