FRIDAY

, the 6th day of the week, so called from Friga, or Friya, a goddess worshipped by the Saxons on this day. It is a fast-day in the church of England, in memory of our Saviour's crucisixion, unless Christmas-day happen to fall on Friday, which is always a festival.

Good Friday, the Friday next before Easter, representing the day of our Saviour's crucifixion.

FRIGID Zone, the space about either pole of the earth to which the sun never rises for one whole day at least in their winter. These two zones extend to about 23 1/2 degrees every way from the pole, as their centre.
