Days of Significance
Tomorrow is Good Friday. For the Christian faith, this day commemorates the passion and death by crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is a solemn day. This day is called Good Friday because, by Jesus’ death, He became the final and complete sacrifice for sin.
Sunday will be Easter Sunday. This day celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the grave. Most Christians welcome Easter Sunday with a sunrise service or other celebration.
