"Good" isn't a very good translation from the Latin. It should be "Holy", not "Good", but the Anglo-Saxon bungling of the translation stuck.
"Good Friday", or "Holy Friday", in the Christian religions is the day that Christ died on the cross, coinciding with the feast of the Jewish Passover. It's the Friday immediately following the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox (otherwise known as the Pascal Moon). The Sunday following that is Easter. This year, Good Friday will occur on March 29, 2002. -Sazerac
