Happy Good Friday! Today is a public holiday for those countries that celebrate this religious holiday.

I’m kind of curious as to why Good Friday is called Good Friday. I managed to get a few results explaining the reason for calling a Friday before Easter is called Good Friday after doing a search for the “Good Friday” keyphrase on Google.

In fact, Good Friday is also called Holy Friday, Great Friday and Black Friday. It is the day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is probably to be dated April 3, A.D. 33. 

I think there is a long story behind it and this is going to take some time to explain why Good Friday is called Good Friday so I’m not going to elaborate further over here. The details can be found in Wikipedia so just click on this Good Friday anchorlink to read further.

Good Friday is a public holiday and most of the local people don’t have to work today. One of the best things to do is probably to go for shopping with the family. Furthermore, the long-awaited Tampines 1 shopping centre had finally been opened to the public on 09 Apr.

A day after its opening is Good Friday holiday and you can see that the organisers of Tampines 1 have meticulously chosen this day to attract more shoppers to visit their new shopping centre. As expected, Tampines 1 was jam-packed with people this afternoon.

Anyway, I think it is always good to see new shopping centres popping up across the country. It lets the family to bring the old and the young for outing at the new shopping centre.

It also gives shoppers more choices to shop and have a relaxing holiday on Good Friday. Enjoy and have some fun!
