HOLY WEEK - GOOD FRIDAY



Millard experienced the honor of humility two years ago
when he carved a Crucifix/Veneration Cross
for St Andrew's Episcopal Church in Emporia.

Good Friday is a Holy Day celebrated by many Christians around the world. Followers of Jesus Christ commemorate Good Friday as the day when Jesus was crucified and buried in a tomb outside Jerusalem.
.
The story did not end there, as most Christian denominations believe that Jesus rose from the dead three days later on what is now celebrated as Easter Sunday, referred to by some as “Resurrection Day.” The solemn occasion of Jesus’ conviction, his beating by Roman guards, and his rejection by friends and foes add to the meaning of Good Friday.
,
Some believe that “Good Friday” is a variation of the original expression “God Friday,” while others accept the holiday name with the meaning that the Friday before Easter is “good” for those who follow Jesus Christ and share the hope of eternal life in Heaven with Him
