It is a fact that the sacrament of baptism has its basis in the missionary command of Jesus Christ after His resurrection (Matt. 28: 19); nevertheless, it came to be administered only after the descent of the Holy Ghost on Whitsunday. Therefore, Christian baptism, which is the acknowledged, universal and essential rite of our entry into the membership of the church, the Body of Christ, and the first of the sacraments, began on the day of Pentecost. This day is thought to be the birthday of the Christian Church.

This book is a complete programme for Suffering Friday (Good Friday). The suffering Friday booklet offers English translations from the ancient Ge'ez text. The book also has English phonetics which enables the reader to participate in the whole programme.
