A Good Friday ritual!



A ritual the faith community practices on Good Friday in the state of Kerala is portray a live scened of the crucifixion scene which the believers visit after the three hour mid day church service! They are presented in the street adjacent to the church for the benefit of the road users as well!

As Anna and I watched some of these solemn processions, we sensed the devout sense of adoration for the vicarious suffering of Jesus!

The resurrection is also remembered with equal adoration on the Easter Sunday!

Faith is the substance of existence... and we are moved to pursue that mission in life even more as we watch such worshipful scenes!
