The original origin of this phrase is unsettling and disturbing at best. It was used, originally, in reference to a woman who had been dishonoured through rape and/or loss of virginity.

As a believer in God there are certain days that have been chosen to recognize significant occurrences in the Christian faith. Today happens to be one of them. It's Good Friday. I've moved away from celebrating in the traditional ways but that doesn't mean that I am not grateful for what Good Friday means.  It means death, eternal death, was conquered through the sacrificial death of Jesus.  And I'm grateful because the death (and subsequent resurrection) of Christ brought about the death of an eternity separated from him and that births hope for me.  Death conquering death is good news and cause for deep gratitude.
