Good Friday or Langfredag marks in Christian tradition the day when Jesus Christ died on the cross, and is marked the Friday before Easter.
In Norway, Good Friday is still considered an important holiday, one of the four annuals that are marked with advertising-free broadcasts on commercial radio and TV channels. Good Friday is a public holiday two days before Easter begins.
The term "Good Friday" probably comes from the tradition that on this day one should make amends by working hard and / or whipping oneself, not letting children play, and in every way mourn Jesus' death, so that the day felt like "a long day."
