Most likely NOT, as most people, I believe, Party on Friday or Saturday.  Just responding the question as it was posed.

Sundays would cause a riot. IF the church goers had to choose between god and state. Saturday would seem smart to me. Less disruption to the work schedule.

I don't get it, either.  When things go on sale at the supermarket, everyone goes to get stuff, so why isn't it the same for the Stock Market?  Beats me.  That sheep thing is about right.

No.  Easter is ALWAYS the first Sunday after the first full moon  after the first day of Spring.  That was probably decided eons ago by the Catholic Church.   There is rhyme and reason to holidays.\nMemorial day is the last Monday in May, Labor Day the first Monday in September.  Thanksgiving the 3rd Thursday in November.  Those are American dates and were decided by Congress.\n\nBut you get the picture on why the date may be different, right?\n\nI guarantee your birthday will be on Easter once again.  Here is a great website that goes up to the year 9999 for Easter dates.\n\nAnd yeah, below is right, I forgot my Catholic School lessons on the date and I had a brain fart.  Of course it is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of Spring.  \n\nMy daughter's birthday is April 16 and she is 22 and I believe Easter has fallen on her birthdate 3 times.\nEaster can be no earlier than March 22 and no later than April 25.  I went up to the year 2040 and Easter did not fall again on your birthday.  I can't give you an explanation for that.

Actually Friday is our holy day. and the story refers to the Children of Israel, who when they were given the torah, they were told not to work on the sabbath. \n\nhowever, that was specific to the children of Israel, and so we as Muslims have friday as our holy day.\n\nwallahu alem (and Allah knows best)

No, it's not true.  I work in retail and our Black Friday ads are still for the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Yes, i LOVE black fridays. My brothers + I have made a tradition out of it. We usually go the place that's opening the earliest and has the best "early bird" prizes. Department stores give out giftcards, so one year we all raked in $100 in gift cards and bought my father a really nice watch for only a few bucks. Then we go to the other shops and try to get free stuff from them too. We usually hit up the mall around 5am, buy some starbucks on the way and wait in line till it opens. Then we just splurge and buy Xmas gifts for everyone, usually at really good prices. It's fun, and we're usually pooped by 11am, so we head home and sleep the rest of the day :)
