Great and Holy Friday Anno Dominus 2010
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Today He who hung the earth upon the waters
Is hung upon a tree
He who is King of the angels
Is arrayed in a crown of thorns
He who wraps the heavens in clouds
Is wrapped in the purple of mockery
He who freed Adam in the Jordan
Receives a blow on the face
The Bridegroom of the Church
Is affixed to the cross with nails
The Son of the Virgin
Is pierced by a spear
We worship Thy passion, O Christ!
Show us also Thy glorious resurrection!

Christ is Risen!
The Holy Friday hymnography is so gripping.
Truly He is Risen!
May you have a blessed Bright Week, Mimi!
I have a post I should have put up for Holy Saturday, but . . .
