INDIANA---Today is Good Friday, the day Christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The painting "My Dad Mocking Christ" by Tom Torluemke powerfully illustrates the beating and mocking that continues to this day. Today, many will fast until after this evening's Good Friday services. It is a day of worship, prayer, fasting and "almsgiving" for members of most Christians, including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Churches of the Brethren, Mennonites, as well as many Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches.
