Easter is just a few days away, so I would like to go ahead and wish all my Christian friends a happy Easter! I don't have to go to school today or on monday, so Easter has definately made my weekend better! plus, today is Good Friday, for it symbolizes the day that Jesus was taken befor Pilate and ordered to be crucified by those that had welcomed him with palm branches and songs just days before on Palm Sunday. After Pilate gave the order, Jesus was forced to carry his own cross to Golgotha, the hill on which he was crucified. But to further mock him, the roman soldiers twisted a thorn branch into a crown and placed it on his head, and gave him a purple cloth, and said with mocking tone, "Hail Jesus, King of the Jews!" When he was at the hill, he was nailed to the cross and placed next to 2 criminals who were also being hung on crosses. The final act of ridicule was a piece of paper nailed to the cross above his head saying: "Jesus of Nazarath, King of the Jews". At the same time, people were chanting that if he were son of God, to prove it by saving himself as a son of God surely would be able to. After all of this, and through the pain of being jabbed and stabbed by the Roman Leigions, he worked up the strenght to lift up his head and say, "I thirst" there was a bowl of vinegar, and they soaked it in a sponge and lifted it up to him using a stick. When he had drank, Jesus said "It is finished", and the spirit left him.
