Good Friday is always the Friday immediately before Easter. The date for Easter determines the date for Good Friday. Here is the formuala. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon, after the Vernal Equinox. This year (2008) it seems to come early because March 2oth is the Vernal Equinox and the full moon comes immediately after that.
