1988 years ago, On Friday, 3 April AD33, a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse day, Apostle Peter's refers to a "moon of blood";
When the son of God, forgave the Sinners, gave back his mortal body;
Only to rise in the third day, the Easter Sunday, showing the immortality and perpetuity of the Soul;
Going on the four-pronged Cross, symbolic of forbearance, forgiveness, fortitude and furtherance, Yesu acted in selflessness for a larger cause.
Candle, the symbol of self sacrifice while giving out light. Let us light one today within our hearts, in reverence to Yesu Christ, to dispel the darkness of ignorance, guilt, sin, sickness, and negativity of all kinds.
A Soulful ‘Good Friday’ prayers to the Creation.

Whispers of a Wanderer.
Friday 02 April 2021

In the morning, the whole assembly brought Jesus to the Roman governor Pontius Pilate under charges of: subverting the nation, opposing taxes to Caesar, and making himself a king
Pilate authorized the Jewish leaders to judge Jesus according to their own law and execute sentencing; however, the Jewish leaders replied that they were not allowed by the Romans to carry out a sentence of death
Pilate's wife had seen Jesus in a dream earlier that day, and she forewarned Pilate to "have nothing to do with this righteous man"
Pilate had Jesus flogged and then brought him out to the crowd to release him. The chief priests informed Pilate of a new charge, demanding Jesus be sentenced to death "because he claimed to be God's son."
This possibility filled Pilate with fear, and he brought Jesus back inside the palace and demanded to know from where he came
Coming before the crowd one last time, Pilate declared Jesus innocent and washed his own hands in water to show he had no part in this condemnation. Nevertheless, Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified in order to forestall a riot and ultimately to keep his job.
The sentence written was "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews."
Jesus agonized on the cross for six hours. During his last three hours on the cross, from noon to 3 pm, darkness fell over the whole land.
Jesus spoke from the cross, quoting the messianic Psalm 22: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
With a loud cry, Jesus gave up his spirit. There was an earthquake, tombs broke open, and the curtain in the Temple was torn from top to bottom. The centurion on guard at the site of crucifixion declared, "Truly this was God's Son!"
Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Sanhedrin and secret follower of Jesus, who had not consented to his condemnation, went to Pilate to request the body of Jesus.
Another secret follower of Jesus and member of the Sanhedrin named Nicodemus brought about a hundred-pound weight mixture of spices and helped wrap the body of Jesus.
Pilate asked confirmation from the centurion of whether Jesus was dead.
A soldier pierced the side of Jesus with a lance causing blood and water to flow out and the centurion informed Pilate that Jesus was dead.
Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus' body, wrapped it in a clean linen shroud, and placed it in his own new tomb that had been carved in the rock in a garden near the site of crucifixion.

Nicodemus also brought 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes, and placed them in the linen with the body, in keeping with Jewish burial customs.
They rolled a large rock over the entrance of the tomb. Then they returned home and rested, because Shabbat had begun at sunset.
“After the Shabbat, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb".
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said...
The immortality of the Soul shown to the world by the Son of God...
In Silence, Supreme self sacrifice and unconditional love, Jesus arose in the hearts of the people on earth...
Happy Easter to one and all.
