Btw,does not Good Friday coincide with a Jewish event-something

No.
Though this year Good Friday was the day after the start of Purim
(which according to my calendar began at sundown on Thursday), but
this was by coincidence and I don't think it will happen again for
some time...
Right!
The holidays are scheduled by different calendars.
Those more mathematically inclined may know the rules for figuring
out how frequently they coincide -- I can find other things to worry
about.
And of course Purim involves Jews living in the Persian Empire -- I
don't think that Turkey had been invented yet.
