Today is Good Friday. The significance of it is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross at calvary.
It is fitting that Christians glorify the Cross as a sign of Christ's resurrection and victory over sin and death, of course. But we should remember each time we see a cross that the Cross of Jesus' crucifixion was an emblem of physical anguish and personal defilement, not triumph -- of debasement and humiliation, not glory -- of degradation and shame, not beauty. It was a means of execution, like a gallows or a gas chamber. What the Son of God endured for us was the depth of ugliness and humiliation. We need to be reminded of the tremendous personal cost of love.
Reading: Gospel [Passion]: John 18:1 - 19:42
The reading leads us to the incidents/happenings on how and when Jesus was crucified as reflected in the movie, The Passion of the Christ.
Reading: The Easter Story - Canadian Bible Society
The reading takes us to the betrayal on Jesus Christ till His resurrection day.

Cool post! Alot of my generation do not know the true meaning of Good Friday and also Easter.
Christians have lots more to do then. There was a survey done in USA and people related it to holidays, eggs, bunnies, festivals, etc. Good thing there were some people who answered correctly.
