Good Friday

Dream of the Rood allows the audience to remember the story of the crucifixion and how it made them feel. The emphasis is on the cross and the loyalty is gives to Christ. To connect with his audience, the narrator breaks his dream into three parts. To get the full effect, we must remember how the story of the crucifixion made us feel. Dream of the Rood is similar to Christian George Stevens’ The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) because both show commitment to the cross. The GSET takes the most…

Imagine Dragons song Believer is actually a really big story. The meaning of the song goes along with children and adults alike. In the song he talks a little bit about his childhood and taking control or becoming an adult. The song will have different meanings to everyone but it all has one overall meaning. Believer starts off with “First things first I'ma say all the words inside my head” (Imagine Dragons). I chose this verse because it is the very opening of the song and usually the…

Many truly don’t know the complete meaningful definition of the word passion. Passion in the dictionary is a very vague and simple definition. The definition defines passion as a strong emotion. There are many strong emotions out there in the world that the word passion can be confused, or can be used in the wrong context. It seems like people have taking away the true meaning of passion. People have overlooked the word and substituted the definition with a definition that will never truly…

torture. This moment makes me emotional because I can visualize the pain and suffering that is occurring throughout the poem. This was done because Christ had a deep love for all people. I consider any work that shows pain, love and heroic detail is good and worth reading, it is a beautiful thing to love unconditionally. The tone of the poem is elegiac. and as a Christian, I view this poem as a meaningful text. In the poem, they wept and mourned for Christ, he is gone physically but is always…

In the years between 30 and 33 AD Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. There was nothing special about the crucifixion of Jesus, at least historically. It was common of Romans to crucify anyone who opposed them. The Romans had many methods of crucifying a person, at the time there were three. The crux simplex, was an upright pole that was occasionally used for the purpose of crucifixion. The crux decussata (X), also called the crux Andreana, because according to tradition St. Andrew was said to have…

Formerly known as the Cristo Muerto, The Dead Christ is a sculpture that depicts the aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is made out of wood and from an ancient technique of Polychromed Poplar. It is believed to have been used in Northern Latium and Umbria while also traveling and being used at to other churches. After it had been discovered, it was reinstated to what it would have looked like in the period that it was created. Today, it is renowned for its importance in the history…

In Doug Linder’s “The Trial of Jesus: An Account”, it is said that the task of actualizing what really happened to Jesus is a challenge because the one who recorded them was a Christian and had not actually witnessed directly. Also, many people already have an understanding of these events that come from their own religious beliefs. The trial itself all began with one simple “crime”. The crime was when Jesus stood up for his beliefs and decided to do the right thing and drive out the merchants…

the Good Friday Agreement signed in 1998 and why after decades of fighting the Provisional IRA came to agree finally to a peace treaty. Though it may seem as if these peace talks hold no relevance to the majority of people, it could, in fact, be a great insight into how to deal with armed aggressors within a country. This is a problem that countries all over the world face; Syria, Africa, even Spain, all countries with armed groups within their borders that want independence. Using the Good…

Black Friday, a time of the year when everything is on sale and almost everyone is in mood of shopping. It is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. During Black Friday, the retail stores come up with many giant sales promotions and door-buster sales events. For most of the people the main attractions on Black Friday are the discounts on electronic goods and appliances. Other than that, people buy almost everything just because it’s Black Friday. They think that if it is…

The last couple of weeks had been very long and drawn out for my family and I. Although we were a very withstanding family and looked healthy, however many problems lay under the surface that made this an untrue statement. However, my brother, Tarryn, had been sick with severe stomach pain for quite some time now. The doctors at Scott County Clinic were baffled as they had no diagnosis for his symptoms. We were also baffled as a family, but we finally decided to seek doctors with a great…
