We ate seafood in keeping with the old tradition though I confess I don't know the meaning behind it. The morning service was meaningful and did remind us of the sacrifice our Lord made for us. Particularly poignant for me this year was the monologue Jesus makes as his death draws near. The feeling of separation from the Father is the only thing that truly frightens him. Makes us think about our own sin and how without that divine intervention we would not be able to go into God's presence. For that reason Good Friday can be as much of a celebration as a period of sadness.
Thanks Lord for the good food and opportunity to be together....
