Good, Long, Holy and Mourning

In Germany,"Good Friday" is known as Karfreitag (Mourning Friday). In Norway, they call this day "Long Friday" (in reference to the length of the day's church services). In Latin America, they call it "Holy Friday". The Orthodox Churches refer to this day as "Holy Friday" or "Great Friday". Some scholars have written that early Christians commemorating the sad event called it "God's Friday".
