    When was Good Friday first given the adjective "good"?

    		Well the first Good Friday was April 7 A.D. 30.

    The reason Good Friday is called 'good' is because holy is sometimes called good. Check these sites.

    		Err, "The date of the first Good Friday will never be known" - a quote from the excellent Woodlands Junior School site which goes on to say that some scholars think April 7th 30. http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/easter/goodfriday.htm
    [I would recommend people to look at this site, which I have used in the past for info. It has a remarkably wide stock of stuff.]

    It was an utterly fictitious item described by an adjective mentioned in, among other examples of his works, a touchingly-romantic poem by an author who actually illustrated the thing. For a good 80 years, however, various references have given it a quite specific definition that does not match the illustration. One even suggests a bellicose origin for the adjective. What might this object be?
