Good Friday fell early this year because of the method of calculating the time of Passover. Good Friday, because it is the Friday before Easter Saturday, and coincides with the Jewish Pasch (Passover) has to be calculated using a Lunar calendar. This year is the earliest Good Friday and Lent for about 150 years, and Good Friday will not occur this early again for about the same ammount of time.
