Happy Good Friday! Easter is Sunday and the warm up hopefully starts around noon. Not sure if we’ll have our baseball game tonight as the fields might be too muddy. Lori has a full day at work but Dr R did agree to let her work a half day a week from home. This might not sound like much but trust me, a 2 1/2 day weekend is a whole lot better than a 2 day weekend. Getting off at noon on a Friday (if that’s the day she takes, it’ll vary from week to week) feels like a 3 day weekend.
I have a conference call with Ohio this morning at 7am. Hopefully I’ll be done in time to take the boys at 7:45. Right after school, if we have no game, we have to get back on working on the house. If it’s game on, we’ll be gone from 4 until 7:30.
If you missed the April 1st post, it’s there now, check it out!
God Bless.
Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday,[1] or Easter Friday,[2][3] though the last term properly refers to the Friday in Easter week.
Based on the details of the canonical gospels, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most likely to have been on a Friday (the day before the Jewish Sabbath) (John 19:42).[4] The estimated year of the Crucifixion is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon.[5] A third method, using a completely different astronomical approach based on a lunarCrucifixion darkness and eclipse model (consistent with Apostle Peter‘s reference to a “moon of blood” in Acts 2:20), points to Friday, 3 April AD 33.[6]
Good Friday is a widely-instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world, including in mostWestern countries (especially among Catholic nations and majority-Catholic countries) as well as in 12 U.S. states. Some governments have laws prohibiting certain acts that are seen as profaning the solemn nature of the day.[7][8]
