7. GOOD FRIDAY and EASTER…. we are ‘inspired’ for in April is usually the month. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. It is traditionally a day of fasting and penance.

EASTER (This year, April 9, 2023) > marks the RESURRECTION of JESUS three days after HIS death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence. Christians glorify and give thanks for JESUS CHRIST…HE conquered death and redeemed us from sin. Hallelujah!!!!
