PRESS RELEASE: Black Friday to Good Friday
Added about 8 years ago by Sacristy Press
The former Dean of Durham, Michael Sadgrove, who recently released an edited collection of sermons from his time at Durham Cathedral (with a foreword by Archbishop Justin Welby), says that Black Friday is “excellent in theory but the practice is rather different” in a blog article published today.
He argues that Black Friday reminds us of Good Friday, when Christ empties himself upon the cross, and that the spirit of Thanksgiving must be kept alive through to Christmas Day, which this year falls on a Friday.
The full article can be read on the Sacristy Press blog.
