March 10

There’s a public holiday this month called Good Friday. Why is Good Friday called Good Friday? 

 Why is Good Friday "good"? That question puzzles not only children but many adults as well. After all, it isn't obvious that we should call Good Friday good, since it is the day on which our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. How can Good Friday be good when it commemorates the day on which the sins of mankind brought about the death of our Savior?

The Baltimore Catechism declares thatGood Friday is called good because Christ, by His Death, "showed His great love for man, and purchased for him every blessing." Good, in this sense, means "holy," and indeed Good Friday is known as Holy and Great Friday among Eastern Christians, both Catholic and Orthodox. Good Friday is also known as Holy Friday in the Romance languages.

Thus the answer given by the Baltimore Catechism seems a good explanation, except for the fact that Good Friday is called good only in English

Is it to welcome the warmer season?

Yes, it is.

 Is it for families to go on a picnic?

Yes, it is.

3.Do a short exercise routine whilst bathing. 

4.. Use non- perfumed soap (such as Pure Velvet, Simple Soap, Dermaveen, QV).
