I had a blessed Good Friday service just now at my church. It was the first one in a long time since I was a kid attending Catholic school and we had services after we let out of school for Easter break. At the door they had given us a nail to symbolize the nailing of Jesus on the cross as he was crucified. We then went up after the reading and after the deacon carried out the wooden cross of Jesus and kissed the cross or His feet and put the nail in a basket beneath him. It was very symbolic and powerful as I felt the Lord’s presence in the church tonight!
