"My Dad Mocking Christ" (2009) by Tom Torluemke, acrylic on canvas, 36 x 24"
INDIANA---Today is Good Friday, the day Christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The painting "My Dad Mocking Christ" by Tom Torluemke powerfully illustrates the beating and mocking that continues to this day. Today, many  will fast until after this evening's Good Friday services. It is a day of worship, prayer, fasting and "almsgiving" for members of most Christians, including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Churches of the Brethren, Mennonites, as well as many Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches.

I have been searching for nearly a decade for a Good Friday service that reminds me of my home church in Cincinnati at Saint Anthony's Church. I found my Good Friday service in Indianapolis at All Saints. What surprised was the kneeling 3-times while approaching the wooden cross. I didn't do it yesterday, but I was astounded and pleased.
