Remembering his Sacrifice, Grace and Love on Good Friday
The Christian festival ‘Good Friday’ is more about remembering the past than celebrating a festival. It is the commemoration of crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Apparently the day of the crucifixion was Friday with a certain crescent of the moon and hence it is observed every year on a Friday with the similar crescent of the moon post the March equinox. The Catholic Church observes a fasting period during this day and refrains from eating meat. Certain parades or acts are conducted to moan the dark history.
People generally wear black on this day, although red is worn on Pentecost in some churches. Most churches conduct special services and prayers in order to free mankind from worldly sins. Most private offices and all government offices are close and families prefer to relax at home or take a long weekend trip. Although being a national holiday, in India the Christian community observes this in much silence and peace.
GreenPro India along with its Christian friends pays tribute to the ‘Son Of God’ who so willingly suffered for the betterment of mankind. We wish for his sacrifice to evolve into a beautiful lesson and humanity to rise above worldly concerns.
