A Week Since Good Friday?

Can it really be only a week since Good Friday? The days all seem to just glom into one another but Holy Week, including Maundy Thursday and Good Friday seem to be just a speck in the rear view mirror now.

Maundy Thursday would have been a solemn commemoration of the Last Supper in many congregations if they'd been permitted to gather. I have to chuckle at some of the clever re-enactments and imaginings of this sacramental meal which is central to our Christian faith.

I suppose the one at the top could come under the category of "gallow's humour" given that it is medical workers in full gear. They are certainly on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis and so many are living out Jesus' words: "greater love has no one than to lay down their life for a friend."

And for all of us who are trying to stay connected through social media and other virtual means the one below pretty much sums it up.
