GOOD FRIDAY!

Happy celebrations everyone! Today is good Friday and there's just so many things good about today...for me at least...Hope it's the same for you too. I'm off to church to celebrate the death of Christ and thank him for everything he's done in my life. If you can, please go to church, even if it's just to celebrate the gift of life. There were just so many people with hopes and expectations who didn't live to see today. We are blessed to still be alive, let's thank God for that.

Also, I went out driving today and for the first time in weeks, there was no traffic in the city of Lagos. Can anyone imagine that? Those who live in Lagos know what I'm talking about. It was so unbelievable, especially on a Friday afternoon...something dey happen o! If only it's always like this...life would be so much easier for Lagosians.

Anyway, do have yourselves a beautiful day. I'll see if I can find time to give you more gists. And remember, no furnication o, today na holy day o. If you must do, do am small small o!
Do take care. Love and Kisses!!! Linda

After a period of rejoicing over the birth of Christ, His followers observe a time of penance and fasting. This period, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Good Friday, is known as Lent. Fasting and other forms of renunciation or self-sacrifice are recommended as so many ways of following the example of Jesus, Who fasted for forty days in the desert, before He began His preaching. Jesus taught the need of prayer and fasting to overcome the Evil One. The practice of austerities has always been considered important in Christian spirituality.

Friday before Easter is the most solemn day for christians-it is the day Jesus Christ died on the cross.
As such,good friday is a day for mourning and all ceremonies and rituals of the day are centred around the feeling of sorrow,pain and humiliation that jesus underwent for the cause of goodness and humanity.Good friday marks the end of the 40-day period of fasting and renunciation during lent,which recalls the days of penance jesus spent in the desert.The message of good friday is that an eye for an eye cannot work,we can only conquer evil through good.Pls make sure you publish my comment.God be with you Linda.
