Poignant meditations occasioned by a distinctive convergence of commemorative occurrences. On Good Fri, April 14, 1995, Christians kept in mind the crucifixion of Jesus, Jews reenacted the Passover, and the earth at large observed the 50th anniversary of the end of World Warfare II and the Holocaust. That abnormal juxtaposition formed the backdrop as Joel Marcus - a Jew by delivery, a Religious by choice - took the pulpit at St. Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland. This book presents Marcus's stirring meditations that day on the relationship between the fatalities of six million innocent Jews in the Holocaust and the fatality of one innocent Jew on the combination. Through reflection on Bible passages in light of experiences and poems about the Holocaust, Marcus shows how the desire that Christians have always found covered in the darkest hour of their liturgical 12 months can shed light on the most tragic minute of the recent record - and vice versa.
