The years teach much which the days never knew.
Good Morning to Thursday...17th, 5.34, +1.9dg, forecasting a clear sunny day today with incoming rain for Karfreitag, and then we go into a wet week. The gardens and felds will jump for joy if we do get a wet week. Note to self to put the rain funnel back into the garden today. Yesterday was a normal sort of Wednesday, 2 hours with she who is preparing to go to Ethiopia, a short pause on my trusty bed after late lunch and then off to the Lidl on Paulii's grey mobility scooter... it was a pleasure not to have to do the hard miles by foot, or indeed carry, or trolley the things back to the house. Home just in time to put together a large nibbling platter and get the glasses out before the Wednesday girls came through the door. They were panicing outside the front door yesterday as normally it is unlocked and they just let themselves in, but yesterday it was of course locked as I had been out, so they were coming around the back calling out for me !! Sweet It is good to know that there are people that have my back and are looking out for me. I locked the door again after their departure at 19.30, and as per usual it was a hilarious evening. I have been trying them out on the meanings of English sayings... fantastic!! Today I am scootering up to the Physio for an hour of Beckenboden work out, secretly hoping she will take one look at me, feel the necessary compassion and send me home. I then intend to deposit the scooter on the railway platform and take a train to Bludenz so I can get a leg of New Zealand lamb from the Turkish grocer there... well I was told yesterday, buy a completely off the wall cow, to eat all the meat I want on Karfreitag, so I thought a nice piece of NZ lamb will hit the spot as I have not had meat in quite a while. Marinated and chargrilled .. the first spring bar-b-que. Bring it on.Highly doubtful that I will have it tomorrow but she doesn't need to know that.
Good Friday is the Christianity of the first day of the so-called "Triduum Sacrum", the three-day celebration of Easter. Easter is in the Christian churches, the highlight of the church year. On Good Friday is commemorated by Christians of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The name of the holiday is derived from the Old High German word "kara" which means as much as "sadness" or "action". The date of the day can be between 20 March and 23 April of each year.
The customs and celebrations of Good Friday vary according to Christian denominations and also by region.
So true in faith of Catholic Christianity Good Friday as a day of strict fasting takes place; to the consumption of meat is waived on this day. It is also common in many Catholic churches that organ and church bells do not sound on Good Friday; according to a popular tradition to fly the church bells during this time to Rome to meet there to take their consecration. In various Catholic tracts of land instead, it is common with so-called ratchet to call (a wooden instrument effect) to church on Good Friday. Also goes in many Catholic churches for two days the Eternal Light . Services begin in Catholic churches often at 15.00 clock, as this time is preserved in a time of death of Jesus Christ. The liturgical coluor red is symbolic of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
In Austria, Switzerland, Germany and France, there are many places the traditions of Karfreitagseis; the Karfreitagsei is an egg that was laid on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday. Such an egg is to have magical powers and, for example, can protect the property of the owner; Good Friday eggs, which are deposited on fields should contribute to Customs after a rich harvest. Animals that are fed with such an egg, should be protected against illness. The Karfreitagsei is referred to in many parts of Vorarlberg as Antlassei; Antlasseier, shall be considered a lucky charm.
