JAMMU, Apr 2: Good Friday was celebrated with a spirit of partaking in the suffering and death of Lord Jesus by St Peter’s Catholic Community with faith and devotion.
To celebrate the day fittingly and meaningfully, St Peter’s Catholic Community took part in the solemn “Way of the Cross enactment’ in the city roads, while reciting the historical details of Jesus’ crucifixion trying to walk along with Jesus on his way to Crucifixion.
A scene of Jesus carrying the deadly cross was made alive with help of the youth members and the gathering followed the scene, stopped at every station of the Cross and mourned the death of their saviour. Click here to watch video
