Good Friday Service

4/14/2017

 
Picture
Good Friday is a Christian holiday held in honor and remembrance of Jesus's death on the cross. It is held after Maundy Thursday, which recalls the Last Supper, and on the Friday before Easter Sunday.
For Christians, Jesus's death is one of the most important parts in the Bible. In dying, Christians believe Jesus took on all the sins of the world and thus it is only through his death (a perfect sacrifice), that people are redeemed and allowed to enter into heaven.


Jesus was nailed to and hung on the cross, he was also, according to the Gospels, beaten, flayed and scourged prior to his crucifixion and was so weak that he could not carry his own cross.

Good Friday is meant to be a day of reflection for Christians, a day when you focus on the sacrifice Jesus made. It is also a day of mourning for the church. Many churches also participate in Veneration of the Cross, a short ceremony in which Christians kneel before the cross and affirm their faith. Good Friday services also typically feature a reading of the Passion, which is the story of Jesus's death.
