Good Friday is a very quiet day, all the shops and businesses are closed for this holiday, so there is no one around, no cars, very few people.
As It Happens, a radio news commentary show on the CBC has been around for 45 years and the tradition on Good Friday, after they have done with the various segments of the show, is to have a reading of Oscar Wilde's short story The Selfish Giant.
I always found that story appropriate for Good Friday.
Simple and beautiful, with a wide appeal, though the story is about children and Wilde intended it to be read to children, I always thought it was aimed at our society and adults in general.
Happy Easter to all!
