Why is Good Friday called Good Friday?
Hmm... why would the church in asia have chosen jan 6 as their epiphany date and main celebration of christmas if it were for Saturnalia. These are questions no one can answer, and we all just assume a Euro-centric perspective for little reason.

The earliest references to Epiphany come from the Roman Empire.
