• As Good Friday marks the crucifixion of Jesus and
  his last hours in the mainland, devotees throng
  into churches on this sad day to offer their
  services to the Lord.
• Though this day commemorates the final stay of
  him, Christians engage themselves in prayers all
  night long and abstain from any kind of meat as a
  part of offerings.
• The celebration starts a week before Easter on
  Palm Sunday and is observed differently by
  different people.
• Good Friday is also called as a Black Day and all
  the churches are kept dark and empty.
• There is always a three-hour ritual which
  consists of reading verses from Gospel about the
  last seven words of Jesus and on its completion,
  a bitter drink made from leaves and vinegar is
  offered to the devotees.

  open parades with a cross in their hands or
  open-air plays depicting the life of Jesus which

• While this day is a Somber day, it is not until
  the day when the Lord was resurrected and the
  celebrations start on Easter which would commence

  North-Eastern states are greatly indulged in
  Easter celebrations and see to it that every
  ritual is met including gifting presents to their
  friends and family.
