Good Friday observed  3/25/2016 11:31:31 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Mar 25 : St Peter's Catholic Church took out a procession to celebrate Good Friday. Hundreds of Christians took out religious procession from St Peter's Catholic Church carrying wooden crosses and rosaries to symbolise the final hours of Christ from his condemnation to the laying of his body in the tomb after the crucifixion on the Mount Calvary over 2000 years ago. Rev. Fr. Jose Vaddakel, the Parish Priest of St. Peter's Catholic Church, said that Good Friday is a big Eid for the Christians as Jesus sacrificed himself on this day for the sanctification and salvation of whole sinful human race. In Rome, crucified death was taken to be very disgraceful and it was a symbol of hatred but Jesus faced this death for the well being of others, he added. He said, "Good Friday is called good because it brought the message of peace, forgiveness and joy for us and that is why we consider it as Eid and celebrate it." He also said that the day reminds all the Christians of the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ and even after the passage of over two thousand years he is still alive in our hearts.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
