Good Friday.

Why is Good Friday called "Good" Friday? To me it seems like it should be called "Worst Friday EVAR".

Wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maundy_Thursday): "The word Maundy, originally from Middle English and used only in this context, derives from Old French mandé from Latin mandatum novum do vobis, 'a new commandment I give unto you [love one another as I have loved you]' (John 13:34), words spoken by Jesus to the Apostles after washing their feet in preparation for The Last Supper."

So I guess it could be called Mandate Thursday.
