Lets celebrate Easter with joy



www.tabchurch.org
 Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday. On this day Christians Honor the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Many Christians spend on this day in fasting, prayer, sincere turning away in both the mind and heart, from self to God. Since the date of Good Friday is dependent on the date of Easter, it changes from year to year. Good Friday is a day of strict fasting and abstinence. Catholics who are over the age of 18 and under the age of 60 are required to fast, which means that they can eat only one complete and two smaller ones during the day, with no food in between. Catholics who are over the age of 14 are required to refrain from eating any meat, or any food made with meat on Good Friday.christianity.about.com/od/holidaytips/qt/whatisgoodfrida.htm

Good Friday is celebrated with different churches in different way, where churches meet in certain places, for example the Nazareth Baptist Church who also known as (Shembe), they usually meet at Nanda in Durban, where they gather their prayers on top of the Mountain. The Zion Christian Church (ZCC) the church headquarters are at Zion City Moria, in Limpopo province where they usually meet, the church is led by Lekganyane family. Good Friday is a wonderful day for us, there is a reson to be thankful for. His death has given us life that is renewed and blessed .So we have to bear in mind the purpose to celebrity this day, by encouraging one another the message of not drink and drive, ask yourself such question who is driving you home ?, and lets spread the words of God in this Good Friday from 6 April until its fall.
