Mizos brave rain to observe day

AIZAWL: Braving the pre-monsoon rain, Christian devotees in Mizoram observed Good Friday, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to redeem the world from sin. The 'Procession of the Way of the Cross' was taken out by members of the Catholic church in Aizawl, but since the procession was disrupted by the rain, the church members continued the service inside the houses of worship.

The members of the Presbyterian Church attended special Good Friday services, where hymns on the sufferings and the death of Christ to redeem the world from sin, were sung and priests delivered sermons on the same subject.

While Catholic Church members observed fast, community feasts were organized by the units of the Evangelical Church of Maraland in south Mizoram's Saiha district to observe the day.
