GOOD Friday is a day of religious observance for the Christian faithful on the Friday before Easter. The day commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a day of mourning.

The most important events in Christianity are the death and later resurrection of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God, and whose life and teachings are the foundation of Christianity.

During special Good Friday services, Christians meditate on Jesus's suffering and death on the cross, and what this means for their faith.

Some churches observe the day by re-enacting the process of the cross in the rituals of stations of the cross, which depicts the final hours of Jesus' life.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, many churches this year held mass but to a limited number of their congregation in strict observance of the SOPs. The Vibes visited the Cathedral of St John and the Church of Our Lady of Fatima in Kuala Lumpur to observe worshippers at their Good Friday service. – The Vibes, April 3, 2021
