Silence a Good Friday Meditation by Eden Parker

On this Good Friday, we invite you into a moment of deep reflection through a poetic meditation by Eden Parker. This powerful piece uses rich imagery and symbolism to depict the suffering, sacrifice, and unwavering love of Jesus Christ on the cross. From the bread and wine to the rooster’s cry, from the crown of thorns to the torn temple curtain—each line draws us deeper into the weight of the crucifixion and the wonder of redemption. Though darkness descended and the sun refused to rise, the poem reminds us: we are not without hope. Because Sunday morning is coming.
