Holy Friday 

 

Theme: Crucifixion

Gospel: 12 Passion Gospels

Hymn: “Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon the cross. He who is King of the angels is arrayed in a crown of thorns. He who wraps the heaven in clouds is wrapped in the purple of mockery. He who in Jordan set Adam free receives blows upon the face. The Bridegroom of the Church is transfixed with nails. The Son of the Virgin is pierced with a spear. We venerate Thy passion O Christ. Show us also Thy glorious Resurrection.”

Message: The love of the crucified Christ.
