The Holy See Press Office Director Jesuit Father Federico
Lombardi said this morning in Rome that "The fact that the Cuban authorities
have immediately accepted the request made by the Holy Father to President Raul
Castro, declaring next Good Friday a holiday, is certainly a very positive
sign. The Holy See hopes that this will facilitate participation in religious
celebrations and favor a happy Easter holiday. It also hopes that the Holy
Father's visit may continue to produce fruits for the good of the Church and of
all Cubans."
Good Friday is now a holiday in Cuba, following Pope's request
