Around the world, Christians are marking Good Friday, traditionally recognized as the day Jesus Christ was crucified. It's a day that calls the faithful together.
"Good Friday is celebrated by Christians worldwide," said Rev. David Young, who serves as pastor of both Grace Lutheran Church and Gloria Dei Lutheran Church."It probably is the most sacred and holiest day of the church calendar," said Young, "because if Christ doesn't go to the cross and fulfill the mission that his heavenly father sent him, then there is no resurrection on Easter Sunday.
In addition to the afternoon services, many churches are also holding evening services for Good Friday. "When we were in COVID, we used to have this theme we're bringing God's house to your house," said Bishop Keith Reed Sr., who serves as Senior Pastor of Sharon Baptist Church in Wynnefield Heights. "Now people are being able to come back to God's house."
