Why do we call it Good Friday?

Cuz that is the only day out of whole year I am good.

Good Friday is the day Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. Easter is celebrated because is the day that Christian's celebrate Jesus' resurrection.

Good Friday comes from the sense "pious, holy" of the word "good". Less common examples of expressions based on this sense of "good" include "the good book" for the Bible, "good tide" for "Christmas" or Shrovetide, and Good Wednesday for the Wednesday in Holy Week.  
A common folk etymology incorrectly analyzes "Good Friday" as a corruption of "God Friday" similar to the linguistically correct description of "goodbye" as a contraction of "God be with you". In Old English, the day was called “Long Friday” , and this term was adopted from Old English and is still used in Scandinavian languages and Finnish.
