“We also salute all the Christian churches that have encouraged their faithful members to refrain from all commercial activity from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. It is such a small sacrifice to make but one that will reap eternal rewards.”
Look for businesses that have this sign on their doors:
Good Friday is among the most sacred days of the year for Christians because it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at Calvary on a Friday afternoon, an event that is central to the Christian teachings about salvation from sin.
This year, the Knights of Columbus asked all merchants to close their stores on Good
Friday from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
Many local churches hold Good Friday services during this time window; closing gives you and your employees a better opportunity to attend an area church service, as well as allowing time to give thanks for the sake of our redemption and to be grateful for the blessings we have been given. Our community can become a beacon of light needed in this fallen world to give direction once again to that which is truly important. It will draw down blessings on us and our family and friends as God looks down and sees us being thankful and reverencing the sacrifice of His Son.
