Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.
He was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities.
Good Friday marks both the low and high point of the Easter Triduum, as Christians remember with sorrow the suffering of our Lord and rejoice in His great mercy to us on the cross.
In this Adventures in Lutheranism episode, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel discuss the various Good Friday traditions they’ve cherished throughout the years, unpacking as they go the three key liturgies used for this day in Lutheran churches — Tre Ore, Tenebrae, and Chief — along with several notable liturgical features: the stripped altar, the darkened sanctuary, the reproaches, and the strepitus, among others.
However your church chooses to mark the occasion, we pray that God would bless your worship throughout this blessed Holy Week.
