Black Friday is, I believe, used to refer to serious bushfires in Australia which occurred on a Friday in 1939. These were not as serious as the recent catastrophic fires, but quite a number of people lost their lives, especially in the State of Victoria.

The Australian event known as 'Black Friday' refers to the devastating bushfires that occurred on January 13, 1939, where 71 people lost their lives and thousands of buildings were destroyed. The fires were fueled by extreme heat and strong winds, creating one of the worst fire disasters in the country's history.

Is Black Friday mentioned anywhere in the Catholic Faith?

No, Good Friday used to be known as Black Friday. In our day and age, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, known as the biggest shopping day of the year. Presumably, shoppers are rushing to buy Christmas presents at bargain prices that merchants only offer on Black Friday. Merchants are in strong competition with each other to draw the Christmas shoppers to their store too. However, I heard a priest's homily last year, where he strongly encouraged Catholics to avoid participating in the Black Friday shopping. An infamous event took place at Wall-mart a year or two ago, where shoppers were in such a hurry to get in the door they trampled over someone and either killed them, or seriously injured them. What does this have to do with the birth of Jesus Christ? The materialism that has taken over our society has very little to do with the birth of Jesus Christ. The Catholic church isn't against buying gifts for your family, but to recognize that the material gifts are not the true meaning of Christmas.
