Mumbai, Apr 10: Good Friday, one of the most significant days in the Christian liturgical calendar is being observed throughout the world with prayers, fasting and services in the Churches. In many of the parishes in Mumbai and elsewhere, the day began with Way of the Cross in various languages. In many parishes, in order to highlight the passion and sufferings of Christ, the Way of the Cross has been enacted.

In the Infant Jesus Parish, Dombivli, the youth enacted the Way of the Cross in the presence of nearly a thousand faithful at 8 AM. The scenes of the fourteen stations enacted by the youth had such a great emotional impact on the people that many of them could not resist their tears witnessing and mediating on the sufferings and death of Christ.

The enactment of the Way of the Cross was directed by Ivan Quadros and the role of Jesus Christ was enacted by Melwyn Miranda.
