Good Friday

The crucifiction is the epitome of evil which man can exhibit toward man.

There are a lot of events to remember. Most of them commemorates some great triumph or birth of a great leader or marking a significant point of change. Most of them celebrates victory or key success. However, who would want to set aside a day to mark the death of a single person? Death marks the end of life and unlike birth, has no significance there after to the future.

Interestingly, Good Friday or Black Friday is also calculated based on the celestial clock, not just through mathametical means. The universe or the position of the universe, is involved in marking this date. This date marks the death of the person Jesus.

The form of death He died of is also known as one of the most cruel death known to man. It was slow, excruiatingly painful and was subjected to the elements of the earth while waiting to take the last breath. And many people were crucified during that time. Surely, it was not the form of death that is significant for remembrance? It has to be something else.

Unlike all other deaths, this death is so significant that at least a three quarter of the known world remember this date in one form or another. A number of countries set it as a national holiday.

We don't make effort to remember the death of any person to such celestial percision. Why do we remember this person dying of such atrocities?

The death of Jesus must have heralded in something far more important than all other events. Not only does this particular abominable death is remembered celestially, the death itself marks a significant change. So, this date becomes even more significant despite these contradicting reasons.
