Good Friday
We got back from Good Friday service at our church about an hour ago. It was a somber time. The holy table is stripped of all its furnishings and draped with a black sash. In place of the usual cross we have two logs lashed together. The processional cross is draped in black. The choir processed in in silence, and a the end of the service we filed out silently in the dark.
The first scripture reading was from Isaiah 52 and 53. The gospel was the crucifixion passage from Luke. The congregation didn't even get to sing very much. Most of the service was the choir singing a very mournful requiem in 7 parts. The sermon was about dieing well.
Good Friday is never a fun service. But that is the point. It is an opportunity to reflect upon the cross and the price paid for our sins. The reality of the cross was very powerful this evening.
