Good Friday?

Today many folks have the day off, shortened work days as they prepare for an Easter mass or some other form of celebration preceding Easter.

Good Friday, per say is a croc. This 'holiday' was set up by the Catholic church. The time line just does not follow.

One can not die on Friday, be buried and rise from the dead 36 hours later and be called being in the grave 3 days.

Let's take Thursday for instance. If Jesus died on a Thursday, Friday started at 6 pm Thursday according to Jewish custom. Friday evening at 6 pm would be the end of the first day. Saturday evening would be the second day, Sunday morning would be the 3rd day.

But if he was in fact in the grave on Wednesday evening - ie Thursday morning - Sunday morning would have been the morning of the 3rd day which started at 6 pm Saturday.

The time shift of thinking of the day starting at 6 pm - the evening of the day preceding in Western thought, the morning being several hours later during the Western next day can easily confuse.
