Crowd follows cross on Good Friday

Flues Fire components

A wooden cross was carried a short distance to the Anglican Church on Good Friday. For the crowd of people involved, that short walk was symbolic of the walk Jesus made as he was taken out of the city to be nailed to the cross. Easter for some is about another long weekend, chocolates, buns, bunnies, and eggs. But for Christians, Easter is the crux of their faith, believing that Jesus was cruelly put to death by excruciating crucifixion and his body placed in a stone tomb. According to the scriptures, on the third day (Sunday), that tomb was empty, and he rose to life again. Easter, for believers, is a time of meditating on the mystery and celebrating the victory. Hollow chocolate rabbits symbolise the empty tomb, eggs are for new life, and the cross on the bun is a significant reminder of Jesus’ sacrificial death. The crowd stood by the wooden cross outside the church singing “Hallelujah” and “He Set Me Free”, because Good Friday brings good news for Christians. Photo: Joyce Wyllie.
