To stand in the nave of Canterbury Cathedral on this day, this day, was especially poignant. To be amidst other Christian pilgrims that have been praying in this place for over 1,400 years was a moment that was profound and unforgettable.
As I reflect on the events of this day, I cannot rid my mind and heart of those that watched the suffering and horrific torture of Jesus. Surely they felt abandoned and frightened. Surely they were confused and fearful. It is truly amazing to consider how the cross can serve as a symbol of torture and death yet also as an image of life and hope to millions. I think this is because the story thankfully does not end on Friday. Yes, these events only lead up to one moment, one moment that is more powerful and dramatic than anything we have seen!
