Goa observes Good Friday
30 Mar 2018 04:01 PM
It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum [3-du-em] on the Friday before Easter Sunday.
According to biblical accounts Jesus carried his cross to the site of execution called the "place of the Skull", or "Golgotha" in Hebrew and in Latin "Calvary". There he was crucified along with two criminals.
Today’s ritual depicts Jesus agonizing on the cross for six hours. During his last three hours on the cross, from noon to 3 pm, darkness fell over the whole land Jesus spoke from the cross, quoting messianic Psalm [saam] 22: All Catholics were seen in church attending the Holy Eucharist [u-ka-rist] mourning celebration.
