Crucifix
Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday. On this day Christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Many Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross.
About this artwork: I created this charcoal drawing of the crucifix in 2006
Amended
Thomas Kinkade, the master of light, passed away today 4/6/2012
May he Rest in Peace.

For Presbyterians the vacant cross stands for the risen Christ. I will publish my art work on subject tomorrow morning. Blessings.
I understand this, Carl, but this one was posted Thursday evening. I intend to still post for Easter.
Thank you, my friend! and look forward to your post as well.
Hugs, xx
Happy Easter Debs! 🙂
Can’t go to church – still infectious and coughing like a pro – but everyone knows I’m poorly, so no worries! 🙂
Love and hugs!
Prenin.
Happy Easter, Prenin

This is my offering for Good Friday…Easter is still yet to come!
This was one of my first few drawing I had created when began to start drawing.
Thank you so much for your kind word, Andro! I love ya!
No beach today…wind is 35-40 miles per hour with gust up to 45 miles per hour…and raining…but it’s all good anyway.
You have a very nice day today!
Oh…you are welcome, my friend!…the pleasure is all mine!
Hugs, XXx
It makes you think that saying “Happy” Easter is a little inappropriate! I hope you enjoy the time with family and friends, Deb.
You and I are on the same page when it comes to this post, Loon!

Beautiful! I love the illumination in the center of the image. In addition to the obvious, it brings to mind energy, turbulence and transparency.
Thank you, George. It warms my heart to know I was doing that well even back in 2006 when I was starting out….thank you again!
Hugs, xx
Absolutely Fabulous Deb, very clever use of charcoal..the pious soul surrounded by the darkness
Thank you, my dear Soma! And I hope you are having a most wonderful start of this weekend!
Love and Hugs, xx
I went to the gym, climbed the stairs at the gorge, (397 stairs to the top) had curried prawns & rice for dinner & didn’t have to go to work. I had a good friday.
It sounds like you did have a wonderful Friday…Now I hope you have a wonderful Saturday too!
Thanks Tony!
Hugs, xx
That reminds me. An old bloke on our local volunteer community radio station was doing the weather report on thursday & said “So weatherwise it looks ike it’s gunna be a good friday” then he burst out laughing when he realised what he’d said.
What a great job. I love your charcoal artwork, Deb.
I spent this morning at the hair salon…. is this considered meditation? 😀 Just kidding.
Have a beautiful Friday, Deb.
Hugs
I don’t know, but is certainly relaxing. 🙂
Thank you for the lovely comment on an older piece!
Have a most wonderful day!

There is a different? Sorry I didn’t know, can you share me the different.
Not a different story, just part of it. before before Jesus had risen from the dead he was first crucified, then taken from the cross and layed to rest in a tomb till he rose from the dead on the 3rd day.
Joh 19:38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews) begged of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave permission. Then he came and took the body of Jesus.
Later he rose from the dead.
Here is a link for story.

Thank you for explaining it, Deb 🙂
I always like reading about other religion or other country’s tradition.
Beautiful pure work Deb. This makes me silent.
Finally, one more person that understands. Thank you, Hanne! xo
Dearest Deb,
This is sent to give you hearty greetings,
and wish of all joy and happiness during Eastertide.
Hope you have an Easter holiday that
turns out egg-xactly the way you want.
Joyful Easter •..¤°.¸¸.•´¯`»Oceanwaves

Wauw…you made that, that’s amazing Deb
I cannot type as I like..my keyboard is jammed, spilled coffee on it this morning lol..
hugs Traceyxx
Tracy…your brand new computer?…No way! Go to the office supply store and pick up a can of compressed air for electronics…it will help get that dried out.
Thank you for the comment on my artwork.
♥Hugs♥ xx
mmm..but it has dried out..and some keys do not work now you see.
I would love to blame my cat but it was really my fault lol.. yeah I know my brand new computer..at least it was not the computer it self lol.. thankyou for advise hun. I hope I can clean it. hugs Traceyxx
So this is a desktop computer? If so you can either take the keyboard apart and clean it well, or just go treat yourself to a new one. No more beverage for you at the computer…lol
♥Hugs♥ xx
Do you put sugar or creamer in your coffee?…Bet that is what is making your keys not work…they’re stuck…Do one of the two.
♥Hugs♥ xx
A lovely creation… fitting for any day of the week.. 🙂
