What is “Good Friday” all about? I don’t mean the day itself, the holiday. The hot cross buns. The fish. But the significance of the day. Why it is memorialized? Why, you say, that’s easy. It’s to commemorate the death of Christ. The day Christ died. That’s my point. That’s what I’m asking: what does the death of Christ mean? Why is it so significant? How should we respond to it? Is it sacrilegious to go on the beach in commemoration of this event? To go fishing? Or to go to Miami to go shopping? Is that what Christ’s death was all about? Now of course, you would say, ”Absolutely not!"
