I have always felt Good Friday to be one of the telling differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Here in Italy it is not a holiday; a Roman Catholic would say 'what are you doing having a holiday on such a sad day?'. A Protestant would say 'what are you doing earning money when you should be at home pondering the sacrifice made for you?'
The Italians have a good party on Easter Monday (Pasquetta) when it is all over.
