"Holy Friday"

in #faith5 years ago

Good Friday arrived important day in Villa de Cura.
This is the day where the villagers go to meet the Holy Sepulcher, the greatest, most beautiful and perfect in the world.
From Holy Thursday there are people in the house of the saint or its surroundings waiting for nine o'clock in the morning to accompany the procession of the Sepulcher.
When the long-awaited hour arrives, the Father recites some beautiful words and the universal prayer of our Father that the faithful loudly cry out and give permission for the porters to fulfill their promise to give continuity to the tradition by carrying the heavy image.
When they manage to get the Saint out of his house, he is received by the faithful who, between tears, laughter and admiration, sing the glorious notes of the national anthem and with loud applause.

That is a moment of mixed emotions, which can only describe who is present.

For Catholics this event is unique, it is a way to live the moment where Jesus was taken to his grave, is to accompany his body, to value his sacrifice and all the love given.

It is to accompany Mary the mother of Jesus in that painful moment, moment that no mother should live and St. John the Evangelist, the faithful friend of Jesus who accompanied Mary on that long road.
