Good Thursday or Friday?

Q:  Good Friday? 3 days & 3 nights? Shouldn't it be Good Thursday? Who decided Friday? Just wondering.

A:  The Jewish way of counting a day begins the night before at sundown so you can find three days in the tomb by their measure. Dead by 3 pm on Friday, day 1, then Saturday and Sunday...three days...hope this helps.
