The Ethics Daily website reports today (April 14, 2011) that a band of Christians is planning a rally in Washington, DC, in a bid to make Good Friday a national holiday.
Organizer Sharon Jones -- a New York-based missionary -- recalled growing up observing the holiday in her native Britain.
She has scheduled a rally on the National Mall on April 22, which is Good Friday. She hopes thousands will attend and watch a film about Jesus during the midday event.
Jones said 11 states and more than 135 countries observe Good Friday as an official holiday. She is circulating an online petition to Congress for a U.S. observance.
