Of course, I think every Friday is a good Friday. I survived another work week—
the weekend is about to begin. It’s all good.
Today is Good Friday, or Holy Friday and, as we all know, its the Christian holiday
that commemorates Jesus Christ’s crucifixion.
The ways we celebrate this holiday are as varied as the people in our country.
Everyone has different traditions; both religious, family and even regional.
In some parts of the country, you can’t go down the street without seeing
signs for, “Friday Fish Fry!”
One holiday tradition I have just learned about is the Lovefeast or the Lovefeast service. My church has been celebrating the Lovefeast for years in the form of potluck meals or fellowship lunches.
Some of the loving may be missing when the good Christian ladies try to best each other in battles over The Most Delicious Dishes. With secret recipes shared to a select few and solemn vows to never reveal a unique ingredient are made, church gatherings become more like clandestine missions than social gatherings.
I myself possess an old, top-secret family recipe for chocolate pie. It was handed down by my grandmother to my mother and then to me. And now my husband makes the best chocolate pie! (One of the reasons I married my husband was for his cooking prowess.)
But, my favorite of the Lovefeast traditions is having a sweet bun and coffee.
Aaawwweee…..
another reason to enjoy coffee.
Happy Good Friday to all!
