Black Friday:
GOOD FRIDAY is the day in Holy Week on which Christians observe the passion and death of Jesus Christ. In the early years of Christianity, pious devotion was concentrated on His resurrection, not His death. However, as early as the 2d century it was customary to keep a rigorous fast in commemoration of Christ's 40 hours in the tomb. By the 3d century the Easter celebration began with the preceding Friday. Up to the 6th century the Good Friday observance in Rome was very simple, consisting only of appropriate readings and prayers.But when he discovered their scheme, he ousted the lesser officials whom they had bribed, ordered prompt sale of government gold, and on Black Friday (September 24) broke the corner.
