Good Friday

[Idolater]

Good Friday is one of the most solemn days of the authentic Christian faith's calendar, arguably the most solemn day. Good Friday is the one day of the year when the pastors of the ancientest Christian tradition do not /are not authorized to consecrate the host, but only distribute Holy Communion consecrated the night before, on Holy Thursday (commemorating the Last Supper).

According to the ancientest Christian traditions, this signifies solemnity in the highest degree, fyi.

According to the one (Eph4:5KJV) authentic Christian faith, God created Adam on Friday, which is the 6th day when Sunday is the first day. So Good Friday commemorates both the day that God made man, and the day that He died for man.

Romans 5:8 KJV "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Every other solemnity, like this week's, is a day of rest for the faithful—except for the clergy. They don't get a day of rest on a solemnity like Sunday or All Saints Day; those are working days for the clergy. They are obligated, duty-bound, to confect the Eucharist.

Except on Good Friday.

And since Good Friday is not a holiday (holy day; of obligation), it is also a very lightly attended Mass, a true day of rest then, for the celebrant (clergy), one time every year. There's no way out of the duty and obligation to celebrate Mass as a member of the clergy, but not literally every day has to include confecting the Eucharist.

So why not make that one day be on Good Friday, Friday as the sixth day of creation, the day God made man, and Good Friday the day the Son saved man. And He is a priest, He saved man through the offering of His own body and blood. And the clergy work for Him.

According to the ancientest Christian traditions

But not the scriptures.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year.

7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.

This is foreshadowing. It still takes place in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It is so you can look back and see proof he is who he says he is. The Passover was probably the last supper as we call it. He exchanged his perfect life, without spot or blemish for your wickedness. And the Father accepted it. He was punished in your place. He paid our fines in court. You get too caught up in the margins. And the flat nonsense about symbolism.
