Good Friday is a Christian commemoration that has its origin over 2000 years ago, when Jesus Christ was crucified. It is closely tied to Easter and the Passover, when Christians celebrate the risen Christ's sacrifice for us.

It began with Jesus Christ being wrongfully condemned by the Sanhedrin (Jewish Court) and then by Romans (Pilat). Easter is a celebration of Life for us. It is called Good Friday because without his sacrifice, there would be no joy of our Salvation. Look at it this way, sacrifices in the Old Testament were times of Joy! Lots of Barbeque, lots of celebrating with families. Why should it be any different when Christ and God made this sacrifice for us? For many, not all, it is the ultimate time to commemorate God's preordained Plan! Isn't that what He wants for us?

Good Friday originated the day that Christ Jesus died. Good Friday is the day that Jesus was hung on the cross.

Another Answer:

Some believe it to be a tradition of men that began in the early Greek Church in the 4th Century AD, and adopted by the Roman Church in the 6th-7th Century AD.

Those who began this custom read the Gospels, particularly John 19, stating the 'Preparation Day' as the daylight portion of what is now Friday. However, a close read of Scripture will indicate that Jesus died as our Passover on a Wednesday in 31 AD, and arose three full days after on late Saturday Day - During the Feast of Unleavened Bread. So there were clearly 2 Sabbaths that week, as there have been since the Exodus for weeks where the Feast begins before the weekly Sabbath.

It is interesting to note that the only sign Jesus gave of His Messiahship, was the sign of Jonah being 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the great feast. Count as you may, there are not 72 hours (3x24) from Good Friday to Easter Sunday - though on a calendar they appear to be 3 days. Jesus is said to have died at 3 PM and buried before sunset of the 1st Day of Unleavened Bread, a High Annual Sabbath. He was seen in the dark hours of the 1st day of the week, Sunday, already arisen meaning He arose before the sunrise of Sunday.
