April 03, New Delhi — Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his greetings on Good Friday, paying tribute to Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. He hoped the day would inspire harmony, compassion, forgiveness, brotherhood, and hope for everyone.
The Prime Minister wrote on X, "Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all."
Good Friday is being observed globally on April 3. The day marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is considered one of the most solemn occasions in the Christian calendar.
On Good Friday, churches remain simple and unadorned as devotees gather in prayer, silence, and reflection. The day commemorates the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was crucified at Calvary, offering a message of forgiveness, love, and redemption.
Special prayers and processions are being held. Many faithful observe fasting and participate in the “Way of the Cross,” recounting the final hours of Christ’s life. From metropolitan cities to small towns, the spirit remains the same: quiet, introspective, and deeply spiritual.
Good Friday is not just a remembrance of sacrifice but a reminder that compassion and forgiveness remain the strongest pillars of humanity.
