Good Friday required something extra. But they told me it was theological too. But I still wonder why many Protestants make so little over Good Friday. And every thing is dark and looks like it will be lost. However, I wonder if there's another factor.
Easter is easier to 'sell' to people so desperate for uplifting thoughts.
Easter is bright, sunny, exciting and full of hope. It is about joy, excitement, discovery, and new life. That sells today. Friday is about pain, agony, blood and death. No wonder many of us don't made a big deal about Good Friday.
