What years did Good Friday fall on April 11?
AHA !!
Rather than a Biblical conundrum, this is looking like one of those quiz questions that always gets a groan from the assembled quizzers when the answer is revealed. The 'Good Friday' referred to is actually the name of a racehorse. I don't know when or even if the horse had a fall on a Saturday but it certainly fell on Boxing Day, the 26th December in 1899 during a race at Wolverhampton, England. Boxing Day was actually on a Tuesday in 1899 but assuming it is the same horse its fall on a Saturday must be within just a few years either side of 1899 as a horse's racing career is not a particularly long one.
I believe there is a similar question something along the lines of 'when did midsummer land on easter day' - a similar event where one horse landed on top of another that had already fallen after a jump during a race - I cant remember the actual names but you get the idea.

The tradition of hanging decorated eggs on an Easter tree (usually a cluster of branches brought into someone's home and kept in a vase) comes from Germany, were originally handmade ornaments were hung instead of eggs. The ornaments represented different Bible verses, all the way from Genesis to the Gospels. Children would add one ornament per day to the "tree" all the way through lent up to Easter. Sometimes just one ornament was added per week, then one each day during the week before Easter.
Another meaning of the Easter tree is the medieval legend that the tree which provided the wood for Jesus' cross came from a long line of trees which began with a beautiful tree in the garden of Eden. This shows the dual death/rebirth nature of the cross.
