Just back from
Good Friday Service©
By Michael Casey
Just back
from Good Friday Service. We had the Shona choir there too. On Good Friday you
go up and kiss Jesus's feet on the crucifix. When I got back to my seat the Cantor-like singing finished
and the Shona choir kicked in. There is
something very special about Shona singing, it goes straight to my heart
and brings tears to my eyes. It really
is beyond words, as I watched the rest of the congregation file up and kiss Jesus's feet all I could
feel was raw emotion, was it musical Faith that was touching my heart and soul.
I was being reminded just how Faith should be by these Shona singers.
Afterwards you have communion, again we had more Shona singing after the traditional singing. Again their Faith, their Shona Faith rocked me. It was
not full force Shona singing as it is
Good Friday, I imagine the full force will be saved for Sunday, Easter Sunday.
It was more than powerful enough for me today. I was reminded where my Faith
is, and I could compare it to the Shona,
Lord grant me more Faith is all I can say.
We finished with a rousing traditional hymn. I'm looking forward to
Easter Sunday, then more Faith, Hope and Love can wash over me. For Christ is
Risen. Christos Aneste
