Foreword
The seven words from the Cross are traditionally attributed to Jesus during His crucifixion. All the four Gospels mention these words according to their theological perspectives on Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus hung on the Cross for six hours and these words were spoken during the time of His agony. These words are remembered meditated upon on Good Friday service throughout the world.

Introduction
The single most significant event in human history is the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary some 2000 years ago. That momentous event on a Friday afternoon made millions of people to observe it as "Good Friday". The death of someone became good for many others because it was on that day that they got the true meaning of life-freedom. The effect of this event is, however, not only restricted for human beings but for the whole of God's creation. The death of Jesus has this cosmic significance.
