Many
congregations hold Good
Friday as a sacred day of
gathering in prayer,
focusing on the cross in
anticipation of the
Resurrection. Chris de
Silva’s
“Faithful
Cross†is a setting
of a lengthy, ancient
hymn (“Crux
fidelisâ€) that
celebrates the cross with
rich symbolism and
poetry. Two refrains are
included for the
assembly, and a simple
chant for The Showing of
the Holy Cross
(“Behold the wood
of the Cross...â€)
is also provided.
“Faithful
Cross†does not
have to be restricted to
use only on Good Friday,
it can be part of the
Palm Sunday liturgy and
for feast days such as
the Exaltation of the
Holy Cross (September
14).
