An explanation of the meaning of Good Friday to Christians.

"Do you know who you are? Do you know who you are called to become? Do you know what you are called to do?" The Rev. Dr. Mark Francisco Bozzuti-Jones reflects on what he calls the Liberation Story of Maundy Thursday, which invites us to be like God. Watch the sermon.

Tenebrae is a Holy Week liturgy that, notably, has no direct connection to the scriptural accounts of Jesus' final days in Jerusalem.

We may celebrate Palm Sunday as the triumphant return of Jesus to Jerusalem, but the liturgy also involves pain, despair, and utter heartbreak. “God came as human to the bone,” preaches the Rev.
