Good Friday, 2023

At 7:30 p.m. the lighting and mood are subdued.

The altar was bare, and the vestments were black. In fact everyone in the congregation wore black.

The lady priest spoke about the necessity of Good Friday, without which there would be no Resurrection Sunday.

We know how the inevitability of death prompts an appreciation of life. As we enter the winter of our lives that insight becomes more meaningful...and urgent.
