Good Friday


Good Friday, also called Holy Friday, Great Friday or Black Friday, is a religious holiday observed primarily by adherents to Christianity commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Golgotha, an event central to Christian theology. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and often coincides with the Jewish observance of Passover.

So what holy and good things do we find from this day in our news. Let's have a look so far:

....

Guessed so. What I find is the normal Crucifictions we se every average day:

- American held hostage by Somali pirates fails in escape bid. Richard Phillips jumped into sea and tried to swim away but was recaptured by the pirates.
- Iraq suicide bombing kills five U.S. soldiers. Five U.S. soldiers were killed Friday in a suicide bombing in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the U.S. military said.

and:
- Wells Fargo boosts stocks. U.S. bank Wells Fargo (WFC.N) forecast a record profit, South Korea steered clear of recession, and Chinese export data beat expectations, all offering hope that the worst of the financial crisis had passed.

Now.
I am not a very religious guy, but I DO like to hear some good news, that aren't based on economy only, every once in a while. Eastern should be made out of soulsearching.

Happy Eastern to all of You's - Do NOT kill eachother out there. Let's NOT make a Black Friday out of this Good Friday!
