It’s Friday Fun Facts: On April 10, 2020

GOOD FRIDAY

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Day.

Scholars claim that the term, Easter, derives from the Anglo-Saxon word “oster,” meaning “to rise,” or for their term for the Spring equinox, “Eostre.”

It’s an Unofficial Holiday: Some schools and banks may be closed, but Good Friday isn’t actually observed across the country. Only 12 states acknowledge this day, which commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

In Medieval Europe, Christians would abstain from eating eggs and meat during Lent. Eggs laid during that time were often boiled to preserve them and were given as Easter gifts to children and servants.

Cadbury’s was started in 1824 and they made their first  Easter Egg in 1875.
