EDITORS COMMENTS

Adoration of the Cross is a powerful and moving Christian tradition that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and is a time for believers to reflect on the sacrifice made by Jesus for their sins and to express their gratitude and love for Him. During this solemn ceremony, worshippers kneel before the cross, kiss it, or touch it as a sign of reverence and adoration. The act symbolizes their acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice and their commitment to follow in His footsteps, deeply emotional experience for many Christians, as they contemplate the suffering endured by Jesus on the cross out of love for humanity. It serves as a reminder of God's unconditional love and mercy towards all people. Through this ritual, believers are reminded that through Christ's death on the cross, they have been redeemed and forgiven, and is a time to give thanks for God's grace and to recommit themselves to living lives worthy of His sacrifice. In participating in the Adoration of the Cross, Christians find solace in knowing that despite their shortcomings and sins they can loved unconditionally by God, and is a time to seek forgiveness, renewal, and spiritual growth as they journey towards Easter Sunday - when hope triumphs over despair through Christ's resurrection.
