Chandigarh, April 7

Good Friday, anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, was observed in all churches with religious fervour and solemnity here today.

The entire community spent the day while fasting, going to churches, doing meditation and remembering the Jesus Christ.

“The death of Jesus Christ is marked as good it is believed that the ultimate sacrifice of his very life resulted in the saving of mankind from God’s wrath and the forgiveness of everyone’s sins,” said pastor Rajiv Masih of Christ Church, Sector 18, Chandigarh.

After the worship, a tree plantation drive was organised in the Sector 18 market here today.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
