off/topic:
And Good Friday (at least in the U.S.) is a working day for some and a vacation day for some (depends on the company). I've never had Good Friday off for any company that I've worked for...lol.
And we don't feast here on Good Friday. We save that for Easter Sunday. For some Catholics, Good Friday is a very solemn occasion. I had a friend who grew up Catholic and every Good Friday from noon until 3 pm, he and his brothers and sisters had to sit and do absolutely nothing for those three hours (not even speak). I don't know how his parents managed it...lol.
