THE SNOWMAN AND HIS WIFE

 

The snowman and his wife,

To make the baby smile,

Put over the child’s crib

A beautiful snowmobile!

SENT FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE

Sent from the heavens above

An unseen arbiter of love

To help the lovers choose

And with introductions done

The angel ascends

GLAD SATURDAY

 

Glad Saturday

Better known as

Holy Saturday

Is not a Mass

But a time of

Prayer and fasting

And meditating on Christ’s

Passion and Death

His Descent into Hell

And his Resurrection

TGIGF

 

We celebrate Good Friday

And thank God reverently

For our saviour’s sacrifice

Thank God It's Good Friday

THE LONG FRIDAY

 

The Long Friday

Or Good Friday

Marks the day

The Temple Guards

Aided by the Judas kiss

Arrested Jesus

At Gethsemane

Also his interrogation

By High Priest Caiaphas

And the Sanhedrin

Who condemned him to death

Before conveying him before

The Roman governor

Pontius Pilate

Who with reluctance

Ordered his crucifixion

At the place of the Skull

SAD THURSDAY

 

Sad Thursday

Is better known as

Maundy Thursday

The sixth day of Holy week

Which remembers the Maundy

The day when Jesus

Washed the feet of his disciples

As well as the last supper

On the feast of Passover

And marks the start

Of the Easter Triduum,

That commemorates

The passion, death,

And resurrection of Christ
