The Good Friday processions in various churches held from morning 12 am to 3 pm ( Protestant Church service) and noon 3 pm to 6 pm (Catholic church service)  . People and devotees from all around the city gathered at the respective churches.

It is the time when all Christians pray, observe fast, visit churches and repent for their sins to start their life anew. This began with the Palm Sunday and was followed by – Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday which marks the Easter vigil.
