About Faith & Inspiration
Good Friday falls at the heart of Holy Week, the day Christians mark the crucifixion of Jesus on a hill outside Jerusalem called Golgotha. Churches dim their lights, strip their altars, and hold a stillness that words can barely touch — a grief kept tender precisely because it knows what Sunday holds. In that long, quiet afternoon, candles flicker against the dark, and the faithful gather not in celebration but in reverent, watchful sorrow.
