GOOD FRIDAY IN CANADA 2013

As a stat holiday, everyone has a chance to stay home. Essential services, however,  must have people working. It is a religious day for Christians everywhere, finding time to go to church. What does it mean? The day Jesus died for our sins! The burden of carrying the cross through the streets of Jerusalem is played out in religious pageants. Thinking about the sacrifice is a way to reflect on beliefs and our lives. The whole concept of doing for others. Treating others as we wish to be treated. Easter has a way of slowing us down to help to understand a larger meaning to life.  The bunny, the easter egg hunt, the dinners together are rituals that bring family together.
