Good Friday is a Holy Week, and is traditionally a time of fasting and penance, commemorating the anniversary of Christ's crucifixion and death. For Christians, Good Friday commemorates not just a historical event, but the sacrificial death of Christ, which with the resurrection, comprises the heart of the Christian faith. The Catholic Catechism states this succinctly:Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ who offered himself on the cross as a living victim, holy and pleasing to God, and whose blood has become the instrument of atonement for the sins of all men (CCC 1992)"[Believers] are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as an expiation, through faith, by his blood... The customs and prayers associated with Good Friday typically focus on the theme of Christ's sacrificial death for our sins.Good Friday is only celebrated by Christians and Catholics and Good Friday to them is a great,holy day.

Sports Day
On sport day,I woke up as usual as a school day.I went to the Yio Chu Kang stadium to watch the different evnts.I myself was taking part in the 'B' division boys relay.As the the stadium was further up north from the school,I had to walk a longer distance to reacgh the stadium.
As I entered trhe stadium,I saw a huge crowd gathering beside the track.It turned out that the form teacher was marking class atendance.After that we sang the national anthem.
Then the races began.
First was the 100m,then 200m,the.300m,then the relays.It was wery boring sitting on the stand watching and cheering for our house,TOPAZ.The were either in the fourth position or more worse and occasionally came in the top three.
Soon my race came.I was the first runner and the most slowest runner in my team.But,we came in second.It was because my teammates helped me and I practically did nothing.After the next relay, there were no more races remaining and the Sports Day ended.I went home with one throphy,smiling.
