Great and Holy Friday is the ultimate expression of the unspeakable love and humility of God. Here, in the depths of seeming defeat, God's glory His humble, self-sacrificing love is clearly seen. In harmony with this, the Church's Good Friday services are deeply solemn, yet never gloomy beneath all the sorrow is a current of joy.
