He is also, apparently, the reason we know the age of the earth.
So -- there's that.

Why are people celebrating his death day? Dude was born June 2nd, why not make that the holiday?
The day he died is the day we failed to celebrate him for the last time; we're not celebrating we're commemorating.
Why do Christians celebrate Good Friday, when we're at it?
I do have a joke about that, but eight people have told me it's in bad taste, so I had to stop telling it.
Hello, sorry I'm late. I am your audience for the poor taste/dark humour jokes.
When does the telling start?
What's the joke? Or was that the joke and I don't get it?
(cue joke)
When I was younger everyone kept asking me "Have you found Jesus?"
When I was on the street, when I was walking through shopping centres, when I was in the Student Union.
"Have you found Jesus?"
Eventually I got sick of it, and one day I snapped.
Someone asked me "Have you found Jesus?" and I turned to them I said "You've lost him? Again? What is it with you people losing Jesus? You know what you should do? You should do what they did in the olden days and nail him to a cross -- that way you'll always know where he is!!"
Which turned out to be the wrong thing to say to the Arch Bishop, but hey -- you live and learn.
Hah! I like it!
I mean far more Christians celebrate Christmas than good Friday
Which is funny given the actual significance of that appropriated celebration.
But then we have to wait for months :(
Let's party now! 🎉 Woo hoo \o/
¿Porque no los dos?
Well -- not to put a damper on things, but this year, on the 2nd of June, nearly 300 people died and over 1,200 people were injured in one of the most horrific train crashes in recent memory.
So that might be one reason why they didn't want to mark it this year in particular.
It's also the anniversary of the formation of the PLO and the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Whether either of these matter to any given person I suppose depends on the person.
You can say something like this about every single date.
