Good Friday Story


What is "Good Friday"? What Does Easter Celebrate?


Good Friday has been described as the crux of time, itself. Good Friday is the day that Jesus was crucified. Easter is not about Easter bunnies and Chocolates... It is the day that Jesus rose from the dead - never to die again.
A lot happened on Good Friday. It is also known as Holy Friday and several other names.
Did you ever notice that Easter varies so much as to what time of year it is celebrated? Easter is actually determined by Good Friday - not the other way around as you might suppose. Easter is the first Sunday after the first Friday after the first full moon after the Spring (Vernal) equinox. Good Friday came within one day of being as early as is possible in the year 2008 because the full moon and the spring equinox fell on the 21st. This will not happen again until 2106. The earliest possible Easter is March 22. The next occurrence of the earliest possible Easter will be March 22, 2285. The last time it fell on the 22nd was in the year 1818. The latest possible Easter is May 10. Easter has not fallen on the 9th or the 10th ever in history. The first time in history that it will fall on the 9th will be the year 2173. We will not see a May 10th Easter until the year 2268. The dates listed above may be verified. Good Friday Bible Quotes







On the original Good Friday, Jesus was convicted of blasphemy in front of a kangaroo court. He admitted to being God Incarnate (God in a human body so to speak) and that was the last straw! They did not throw Jesus in an insane asylum like they might, today -- the religious leaders demanded his death! Jewish leaders did not have the authority to execute people under Roman Law so they took Him to Pontius Pilate. Pilate wanted to release Jesus badly -- especially since Pilate's wife had had a disturbing dream about Jesus. But the Jewish people would not hear of it. Instead of letting Jesus off the hook, they let a rebel named Barabbas walk.
Pilate had Jesus scourged. This is the most heinous thing you can imagine. The whip was tipped with bone and iron shards so it cut through both skin and muscle. Many people did not survive a scourge. This did not satisfy the people. They want Jesus dead.
Jesus was actually dead only one full day: Saturday. He died Friday evening and was raised sometime before sunup on Sunday morning.) some people went to Jesus' grave but he was gone. He had been resurrected! And He still lives! This is now known as Easter.
Jesus was taken up to heaven approximately 40 days after He rose. The angels that attended his ascension told us that Jesus will be coming back in the same way He was taken to Heaven.
And He's coming back soon!
Maranatha! Good Friday Story

Mothers Day History

Mother’S Day Different humans have one of a kind methods of marking Mothers Day, that's an afternoon set apart to have fun motherhood. It could seem that the manner a person celebrates Mothers Day depends to a large extent on whether they recognize its real meaning; and if so, what their person understanding of motherhood is (due to the fact that exceptional people generally tend to have specific understandings of standards like those). Perhaps before even going any similarly, we would mention that there are those who in reality do not mark Mothers Day in any respect. To a big extent, inside the much less evolved components of the arena, this has to do with lack of understanding approximately the day. But even in the advanced elements of the world, where there's extra attention approximately the day, a few people simply choose to allow it bypass, much like every other day. Mother'S Day Prayers Catholic The individuals who do not mark Mothers Day (...
