Hello there. Welcome. It is Eric Eriksson here. The Eric Erickson Show across the nation. The phone number is 877973-4-2-5. If you want to be on it tomorrow is Good Friday. Today is Holy Thursday. Kings by tradition. In fact, the Queen of England today, although she has had her son do it.

They call it Maude Thursday. It is the day that Christ washed the feet of his disciples.

Royalty around the world today in Christian societies tend to pass out money to the poor.

It used to be actually up until the 1950s or 60s that if the

poor were chosen by the royal family in Britain to receive a monetary handout, they received

that monetary handout and were on government pay for the rest of their lives to help them.

Now it's souvenir gold coins and other things that are that are given out.

It's a big day in the run up to tomorrow, which is the one of the high holy days, I guess you

could say of Christianity. The day Christians remember that Christ was crucified. Good Friday.

You know, my oldest is now 16. When she was eight or nine,

someone mentioned Good Friday, and she said, isn't that the day after Thanksgiving when everyone goes shopping?

And I believe I was going to say, no, that's Black Friday.

She said, I thought Black Friday was the day Jesus died.

No, that's good Friday.

Why is it good?

That's the day he was crucified.

You know, when you think about it, well, it is good because he laid down his life for us that we may not have to go through what he went through. You know, the sky went

dark. God turned us back on the first person of the Trinity turned us back on the second person

of the Trinity that day. We'll talk about that tomorrow.

But I want to talk about something in relation to that.

And I wrote something.

And I hope you might consider actually reading this if you text data to 33777.
