Had Lincoln's death sacred significance ?
Abraham Lincoln was shot on Good Friday, the day that commemorates Christ’s crucifixion. I wonder, did Lincoln's untimely death on such a holy occasion elevate him (more than he was shot on another day) to American martyrdom? My answer is "yes". It's my humble opinion that the Good Friday assassination earned Lincoln sacred significance. What are your thoughts?
