What does CMS mean?

CMS means Content Management system

It is a piece of software that allows the information or content of a website to be adapted via a simple interface (usually via a website, but this does not have to be compressed). A CMS is especially important for websites whose content needs regular customization, and the content in a fixed layout is presented to visitors. Most large companies use a CMS for their website nowadays. For example, a known variation of the CMS is the weblog. There are many different types, so something for everyone.

What is Good Friday?

Good Friday is a Christian holiday

Good Friday is Friday before Easter, and the day before is white Thursday. On this day, church services commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. The bells do not ring before commencement of the service, as a sign of mourning. Good Friday is well named because the Christians believe that Christ's voluntary death meant that God cared about human suffering and took it upon himself. Professed Roman Catholics do not eat meat on this day.
