Today is Good Friday, which always seemed quite the misnomer to me. Commemorating a particularly cruel and inhuman form of execution by calling it “good” just does not compute. Maybe it’s “good” because if you want a resurrection, you first need a death.
Tonight also marks the first
night of Pesach. Jews around the world will be sitting down to Seder
celebrations marking the Exodus from Egypt, as they have done for thousands of
years.
In short, it’s a big day.
I’m going with the Crucifixion theme for the National Poetry Month earworm. Here’s Three Mo’ Tenors singing “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord”.
