Good Friday
The crucifixion. The holiest day of mourning in the Christian calendar. In Appalachian folk tradition, Good Friday has special power — it is said that anything planted on Good Friday will grow strong, and that workings done at the three o'clock hour carry particular weight.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? — Matthew 27:46, KJV
