Members of Christian community take out Good Friday procession

Good Friday is a deeply meaningful day for the Christian community the world over. Observed during the Holy Week, it commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary. While the name may sound positive, the day is solemn, focused on reflection, prayer, and remembrance of Jesus Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for humanity’s salvation.

Traditionally, many Christians observe Good Friday with fasting, attending special church services, and meditating on the Passion of Christ. It serves as a powerful reminder of love, sacrifice, and hope — leading up to the celebration of the Resurrection on

Easter Sunday.

A solemn Good Friday procession was taken out under the supervision of Fr Thomas Valliaparampil, Parish Priest of Holy Cross Catholic Church, Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana, on Friday here.

The procession commenced from Sacred Heart Convent School, Sarabha Nagar, and concluded at Holy Cross Church. Along the way, the faithful participated in the Fourteen Stations of the Cross, prayerfully meditating on the suffering and sacrifice of

Jesus Christ.

“This sacred journey was a profound expression of faith and reverence, as the community came together to remember and honour the passion, suffering, and ultimate love of our Saviour,” said Albert Dua.
