Header : Good Friday Observed in Delhi
Kicker : Christians in Delhi joined the rest world over in observing the Good Friday, the day when Jesus Christ was crucified in 33 A.D.
Good Friday is a commemoration of the Crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary in the year 33 AD. This day is called ‘good’ because the Christians believe that by the death of Christ, mankind is saved from sin and eternal damnation.On Good Friday, the Christians fast and make the way of the cross, re-enacting Christ’s walk to Calvary carrying the heavy cross.
The church service begins at around 3.00 PM with the reading of the Passion of Christ which is an account of the suffering and crucifixion of Christ.
The most important part of the ceremony is the unveiling and veneration of cross. Everyone comes and kisses the cross, the symbol of salvation.
During the forty days of Lent, culminating on Good Friday, Christians make sacrifices and the amount saved is offered to fight hunger and poverty.
No music is played in the church. And all return home silently mourning for the sins and waiting with hope, for the Easter Day, the day of Christ’s resurrection.
