Professor William Bright admitted: “When a special day, Good Friday, came to be devoted to the commemoration of the Passion as such, it was too late to restrict to it the ‘ paschal ’ associations which St. Paul had connected with the sacrificial death: they had been freely applied to the Resurrection - festival itself, and a confusion of ideas established itself in the ritual language of Greek and Latin Christendom. ” ​ — The Age of the Fathers, Volume 1, page 102.
Professor William Bright möönis: „Kui ühte erilist päeva, Suurt reedet, hakati pühitsema koos kannatusnädala mälestamisega, ei saadud enam piirduda vaid paasapüha kombestikuga, mida püha Paulus oli ohvrisurmaga sidunud: paasapüha kombestik ühendati ülestõusmispühaga ning ristiusumaailma kreeka - ja ladinakeelsesse kombetalitusse juurdus ideede segadus. ” — The Age of the Fathers, 1. köide, lehekülg 102.
