Good Friday (Year C)

In spite of Good Friday’s reputation as a day not for singing, some of the most wonderful music of the ages has been written for it. A special Sing For Joy program has been prepared to offer the kind of music that honors the day meaningfully. Make it part of your Holy Week observance.
