According to the Christian Church calendar, today is Good Friday. It is a day of solemn remembrance of the agonizing death of Christ by crucifixion. It is the day of the cross.
Of course, Reformed Protestants have never been big on the church calendar but it is rather upsetting how the culture has thrown away Easter, Good Friday, ect. Not because all Lord’s Day point to the resurrection but because the culture no longer cares about the resurrection.
This is hard news for Christendom. Charlotte Allen has an excellent article at NRO entitled Easter, Anyone? A sober reflection.
A friend has in the past recommended Robert Louis Wilken’s thoughts on the church calendar. I don’t know whether this is the article he had in mind, but it has some good insights, even if mixed with certain things foreign to the Reformed tradition:
