Praise to the Lamb of God! Jesus the righteous.

[Fester Chugabrew]

“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”

In the 17th century, a three-hour service, a meditation on Jesus’ “Seven Last Words on the Cross,” was introduced into the Catholic liturgy, and is celebrated today across Christian traditions and in Eastern Orthodox churches.

FALSE!

The Orthodox Church does not serve a "Seven Last Words" service as such, which, as the author points out, is a post-schism, post-Reformation innovation.

The Orthodox Church serves the Royal Hours of Good Friday on Good Friday morning, and the "Unnailing" Vespers at 3 PM Good Friday afternoon.

Over the course of those two services the Passion chapters of all four Gospels are read, and in that sense and that sense only the "Seven Last Words" are proclaimed.

Orthodox Good Friday will be on April 30 this year.

Anyone notice how Google’s main page has *nothing* for Good Friday?
