"White Friday"

Why is it called White Friday if it happened on a Wednesday? Xanthoxyl ^< 18:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It coincided with Saint Lucia Day in Italy, the Italian side developed the name. User talk:User178198273998166172 16:20, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Lucia

What is the relevance of the sentence concerning "Saint Lucia, a commemorative religious holiday practiced by the majority of 
Italian Catholics".

I am from Northern Italy but I do not see the relation between the event, the Santa Lucia festivity and
the fact that the majority of Italian were (and perhaps are) Catholics.

The "White Friday" name is in no way connected with "Saint Lucia" 

By the way: Austrian were (and perhaps are) Catholics as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.43.157.76 (talk) 18:09, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

White Friday happened on Saint Lucy's Day, hence the connection. No one claims that White Friday originates from name of St. Lucy, though. A09|(talk) 11:56, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sabaton

Added a small entry to "Media" concerning the song "Soldier of Heaven" based on the events of White Friday. Song is by Sabaton, and I picked it up because the first thing I thought when seeing "White Friday" was "I'll take the stairway to Heaven". Hope no-one minds. Long live Sabaton!

@Yet Another Dragon I disagree and I think you should revert. Firstly, if we take a look at the description under the YT official music video, we can read about Col di Lana explosion on April 17, 1916 (and the article talk about events on December 13th, 1916). Furthermore, the tombstone at the end of the video (3:29) says "dedicated to all those unknown heroes who never came home". Nowehere does it explicitly say that this song is talking about this White Friday (to my knowledge, there are multiple White Fridays in history, hence also the disambiguation title on this article). Sabaton also reported that Col di Lana explosion was inspiration for the White Friday song (see their wiki). I have removed this exact info in the past, and yet you have reinserted it without proper sources. Best regards, A09|(talk) 11:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
