The Cross - Good Friday (Sky Watch)

The Cross
Good Friday
Sky Watch Friday
Today is Good Friday. Good Friday, also called Holy Friday or Great Friday, is the Friday before Easter (Easter always falls on a Sunday). It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus at Calvary. In many English speaking countries, hot cross buns are eaten on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of the crucifixion. This is the first day of the Easter Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday night and ends on the evening of Easter Sunday.

    Hello and welcome to Sky Watch David.. I post the links at around 20.00 hour GMT on the Thursday before to give you lads and lasses from down under (as we say) the option of getting your links in Friday morning..

    Anyhow back to your fantastic picture and posting.
    This is a great capture for Sky Watch and for Easter, the image is striking and will mean so much to many of the Sky Watchers. I also enjoyed the text as well.
    I look forward to seeing more from you in the future..
    Tom

    Hi luiz santilli jr.,

    The cross makes for a great compositional subject, especially when you stand near the base. You pretty much can't go wrong!

    Cheers,

    Hi dancin' fool,

    Yes, the clouds really give this shot an extra meaning, don't they? Imagine what this shot would be like if you just had a plain shot........

    Happy Easter,

    David

    Hi petunia,

    This is indeed a "special" Friday, and it only happens once a year, so it deserves a special commemoration!

    Cheers,
