The National Day of Prayer occurs every year on the first Thursday in May. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1952, “The President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.” As our nation struggles with foreign and domestic threats, economic insecurity, cultural tensions, and continual challenges to basic constitutional rights, millions will take time out of their daily schedules to intercede on behalf of their communities, their nation, and their leaders.

Nothing on Saturday. Jesus is silent. God is silent. Saturday is silent. Jesus' body is buried in the tomb. Easter weekend discussions tend to skip Saturday. Friday and Sunday get the press.

In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several different Feasts of the Cross, all of which commemorate the cross used in the crucifixion of Jesus. Unlike Good Friday, which is dedicated to the passion of Christ and the crucifixion, these feast days celebrate the cross itself, as the sign of salvation. Holy Cross Day (September 14, 2021) honors Christ's self-offering on the cross for our salvation.

The cross represents the significant sacrifice Jesus made for all of mankind. He took our place, bearing our debt, paying our wages of sin so that we do not have to bear the nail scars but instead can have life everlasting. Here is a compiled list of songs that are centered around the cross. Find more Easter-themed songs and hymns here.
