Today is Good Friday 4-02-010 one of the most holiest of days if you are of the Catholic Faith!
A day I remember spending from Noon till 3:00pm either reading about our Lord's death or attending Church worship or attending to some chore but in silence!
There have been many a Easter where the weather has been abominable - from very warm temperatures like this year to one of wind / rain / snow and frigid temperatures!
I will be spending my eighth Easter alone - a feast of Potroast with baked sweet potatoes, asparagus, pink applesauce and white cake / dark chocolate frosting for dessert is planned!
Ive always planned a menu for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas but it never panned out because either I got sick and didnt want to eat so much or I just got lazy - so Im hoping this Easter I will follow through! Both my parents are deceased and my siblings live out of town and thus Ive not been invited but both are in failing health!
The other day I recalled when we were young and living in the suburbs of Philadelphia when we got chicks and ducks for Easter, how little and fluffy they were and when they matured after 6 months given to the Eggman! Or shopping for an Easter outfit - my Mother loved 'hats' and she spent big bucks on them or me wanting 'red shoes'! Finally at the age of 12 I was allowed and all I could find were a subdude color of 'red orange' tied shoes! A wonderful Easter memory was receiving dark chocolate covered cocconut eggs with our names imprinted!!

The Good Friday service here was the Way of the Cross starting at the church and proceeding through the streets of the small town near the Hamlet where I live, ending back at the Church.
The weather was cool and partly cloudy, but it was all good.
beautiful day,
lovely post!
@Andrew: Yes we too had processions like that at my former church except it was done on Palm Sunday!
@Jingle: Thanks for your kind comments about my post!
@J: Thanks for your wordpress site - I shall visit & for your belated Easter Wishes!!
And this year my planned menu was delicious - I made a cake on Saturday afternoon 4/3 and by Monday evening 4/5 it was gone - Im a lover of dark chocolate!!
Easter this year was one of the most lovely I can recall. Mother nature was smiling that day....
