Imphal: Devotees gathered at MBC Centre Church in Imphal on Friday to offer prayers and observe Good Friday, marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

A devotee told ANI that Good Friday holds deep spiritual meaning for Christians around the world.

 “Today is a very special day for us as Christians, not only here in Manipur but worldwide. Good Friday is about Jesus Christ coming down to earth and dying for all people around the world,” he said.

 Christians across the country observed the day with solemn prayers and spiritual reflection, remembering Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for humanity.

Good Friday is a Christian holiday that remembers the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. According to Christian belief, Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples, Judas, and handed over to the Romans. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, ordered his crucifixion. Jesus was made to carry his cross from Jerusalem to a hill called Calvary, where he was executed.

Good Friday also marks the beginning of the Easter weekend. It is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday and is a day of mourning, prayer, and remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice. Many Christians spend the day fasting, praying, and visiting churches. (ANI)
