I read today that “Good” was translated from the word, “Holy”. The Friday of Jesus Crucifixion was considered a “holy” day for centuries.

A “holy” day because Good Friday was only part of what happened. Good Friday was the beginning, Resurrection Sunday was the end, (and the new beginning).

Now, it reminds me of the 6 days of Creation when, at the end of each day, God declares it is Good. The work that He has done for us, it is very Good!!!
