Good Friday, The day When our sins Erased!

Hey Guys!

Now is the day when our Lord, Jesus Christ, give His own Soul to The Father. This day also known as The Good Friday. In this day, we commemorate the death of Jesus, and following His death, our sins are erased away from our heart. Many people ask what is the history of the Good Friday. This is some history of one of the Holy Week.

Brief Description

The word "Good" in Good Friday actually is from the senses of pious, or Holy. This is a religious holiday for commemorating the crucifixion and the death on The Calvary. This day is part of Pascal Triduum and on the Friday and preceding in Easter Sunday.

The Time

The estimated year of Good Friday is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon.

A third method, using a completely different astronomical approach based on a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse model (consistent with Apostle Peter's reference to a "moon of blood" in Acts 2:20), points to Friday, 3 April AD 33 (Wikipedia.org).

And That's the brief real life history of the Good Friday.

I want to tell you guys that there are several different methods that used in the Good Friday only.

1. On the beginning, the priest, clergy, and the altar servers are crouching in front of the altar.

2. The Passion gospel only be sing at this day. The Gospel is similar to the Gospel that read in the Palm Sunday, but in this time the Passion story is more specific.

3. And there is no singing, consecration, and all ceremony is silent. There is only a communion in the ceremony. (The Holy Bread is already blessed in the Night Praying event after The Holy Thursday), and Our Father pray.

4. Oh ya, there is a special part, too. The veneration of the cross. There are some smaller crosses that already blessed and all people in the church/chapel must kiss the cross. This is a symbol of honoring the cross.

And that's all about The Good Friday, the day when Jesus erase our sins with His death on the Golgotha. And what Jesus does is a Holy, very brave and honorable act to us. So, for us, we must be good, doing good to our self, our parents, and all people all around the world!

For all altar servers, thanks for your service for your, and our church of Santa Lusia. May God bless you all and give you happiness and joy in the Easter Morn, where he Rose from the death, conquering the darkness and save us from Satan's rule. Guys, I honestly really appreciate your Holy Duty.

We have been told; we've seen his face,
And heard his voice alive in our hearts:
"Live in my love with all your heart,
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you."

See you in the Easter Morn!

Lent Weeks

Dear Friends,

This is the most challenging season in your Catholic experience. In this season, you also perform 40 days fasting. This means that you must do your abstinence and generally you couldn't eat meat product. Also, in this time you have to do Station of the Cross routinely.
