"Good Friday"

It strikes me as an oddity that English-speaking Christians call this day, two days before Easter, "Good Friday." What is so good about it? What is so good about Christ, according to Christian teachings, being crucified on (sort of) that day? Ah, could it be that the (Christian) Church "rejoices as mankind is granted Salvation from the bondage of Satan by Christ’s death?" Or as a commoner would say "Christ died on the cross for our sins."

So, I suppose the Christians rejoice that they get to get through to a better place scot-free, regardless of how they lived, but only if they accept Christ as their Saviour, and then only if he, Christ, is tortured and dies as a result. And God did all that out of love, but that love was not unconditional. I don't know, this Christian thing has got me all confused.
