Good Friday

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. He who believes in Him will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Him will never die.”

                                                                                                                   John 3:16

 It is a significant day for the Christian community since it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Judas betrayed Jesus, and Christians believed that Jesus came back to life three days after being crucified, on the day known as Easter. The word 'good' in Good Friday means pious or holy.

The death of Jesus signifies forgiveness for all of the sins of mankind, with Jesus sacrificing himself for the good of humankind.

Good Friday is a day of mourning, and people keep fasts and pray to the Lord. It is a day to remind oneself of Jesus Christ’s sacrifices. Church services take place from noon to 3 pm on this day and decorations from statues are removed. Priests are dressed in black robes.

In respect of the day, one of our senior students Nilabhra Guha shared the true story behind Good Friday through the video.
