Why is Good Friday called Good Friday? Good Friday marks the day Jesus died on the cross. Of course, two days later, Easter Sunday, represents the day Jesus rose from the dead and went to Heaven. So why is the Friday, the day Jesus died, called Good? The earliest use is “guode friday” from 1290.But locally, Nairobi-based Religious Catholic Brother Kennedy Oronjo says, Good Friday is called Good Friday because it marks mankind’s salvation which came through Jesus Christ’s crucifixion at Golgotha in Jerusalem.
