17 Tweets That Perfectly Sum Up Good Friday In Ireland

seank

Weirdly, Good Friday is still kind of a big deal in Ireland.

Though we’re nowhere near as Catholic as we once were, we still keep up the old traditions for the shake of our mam.

And, y’know, because of the law.

These 17 tweets perfectly much sum up the Irish attitude to Good Friday…

Baffled tourist:
‘Wait, why can’t we buy a pint?’
Ireland:
‘BECAUSE JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS NOW SAY 50 HAIL MARYS, HEATHEN’#GoodFriday

I reckon the only reason we can’t buy alcohol in Ireland on Good Friday is that it’s sold out after Holy Thursday. #GoodFriday

If the Irish spoke German, we would have a great compound word for the fear of not having access to alcohol on Good Friday.

I surprised my dad with a 6 pack of beer for Good Friday. He was delighted and told me I’m now his favourite daughter.

I’m an only child.

As much as I hate religions telling us what to do… I’ll miss the good Friday alcohol ban cause we basically had a national gaff party day.
