Earlier in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also recalled Jesus Christ on the occasion and said, “May this Good Friday fill every heart with love, peace and compassion.”

Several other senior leaders of various parties tweeted marking the occasion.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge tweeted and said, “On Good Friday, let the spirit of compassion, forgiveness, and empathy guide our path. Let there be kindness, peace, and humanity, all around us.”

Meanwhile, a special mass service was held across the churches on Good Friday including at St. Teresa’s Church in West Bengal’s Kolkata. Devotees offered prayers at the church.

What Is Good Friday And Its Significance?
Good Friday, also known as Holy Friday or Black Friday, marks the day when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. Just a week before Easter, it condemns every suffering and punishment that Jesus had to suffer while Easter celebrates his resurrection from the tomb.

Each year, scores of people gather in churches across the country to offer prayers to Jesus Christ.
