I had to look it up....it ends at 3PM on Good Friday. When I was little we had to be silent from noon 'til 3 pm on Good Friday because supposedly that's when Jesus hung on the cross.

The adults just wanted 3 hours of peace and quiet. So was that noon to 3 Pacific time or daylight savings time? I didn't realize someone had checked their watch when Jesus was hung on the cross.

That was Ohio time. We had to go to church also to 'kiss the cross'. You'd walk up to the priest and he was holding a small cross and you would kiss the feet of Christ and the priest would wipe the spot for the next person. It's a wonder we didn't all croak with cold & flu season. The old Italian ladies would kneel down at the front door of the church a 'walk' on their knees to the fronty of the church where the priest was. Babushkas were popular with those ladies.
