This year, the anniversary of our Lord’s crucifixion falls on the anniversary of Vladimir Lenin’s birthday, which is also Earth Day. Some will choose to worship creation today. We choose to worship our Creator.
— Erick, for all of us here on the front page at RedState.
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. And sitting down they watched him there; And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
. . . .
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Two Commandments
unclespidey Friday, April 22nd at 8:50AM EDT (link)1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and great commandment.
2. The second is like unto it, love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commands hang all the law and the prophets.
It’s as simple as that.
Peace be with you.
WY_Cowboy (Diary) Friday, April 22nd at 10:10AM EDT (link)Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into tempation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

eddiethegeek Friday, April 22nd at 11:01AM EDT (link)Google, on the other hand, has (not surprisingly) chosen to worship the Earth on this holiest of days.
But that’s OK – I skipped ahead to the end of the book and found out that WE WIN!
From the East (actually just North of Macon) we sing ...

The Noble Joseph,
When he had taken down Your most pure Body from the tree,
Wrapped it in fine linen,
And anointed it with spices,
And placed it in a new tomb.
Kontakion – Tone 8
Come, let us all sing the praises of Him who was crucified for us,
For Mary said when she beheld Him upon the tree:
Though You do endure the cross, You are my Son and my God!
and tonight for Saturday Matins (we rush ahead during Holy Week) we sing:
When Thou didst descend to death 0 Life Immortal, Thou didst slay hell with the splendor of Thy Godhead! And when from the depths Thou didst raise the dead, all the powers of heaven cried out: O Giver of Life! Christ our God! Glory to Thee!
The angel standing by the grave cried out to the women: Myrrh is proper for the dead, but Christ has shown himself a stranger to corruption.
More from the East, prior to the 'Renaissance' which we never had
