The members of Christian community commemorate Jesus Christ's crucifixion, which plays an important part in their faith as they believe that Jesus came back to life three days after his death on the cross.

On Good Friday, the Christians attend special church services and hold prayer vigils. It is a day of mourning and quiet prayer for many of them as often they extinguish candles and drape the statues, paintings and crosses in black, purple or grey cloth.

According to Christian faith, "This is an important event in Christianity, as it highlights the sacrifices and suffering in Jesus' life.

The crucifixion is also associated with a number of events in Holy Week including the victorious return of Jesus to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and many other rituals,” said a member of Christian community.

The crucifix or cross symbolizes the way Jesus died and it is an important symbol on Good Friday. Some of the crosses also bear a figure of Christ while other symbols of this day include black cloth that is used to cover the cross, paintings and statues in churches and also at some homes to signify mourning.

Some members of Christian community also spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance and meditation on the sufferings, agony and sacrifices of Christ on the cross.
