Good Friday is being observed by Christians across the country today. On Good Friday, Christians in all countries commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Traditions on Good Friday, also called Holy Friday and Black Friday, include prayers, fasting and charity. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, large religious gatherings have been restricted in all states of India. Images of people observing Good Friday from across India tell how people are being vigilant. People at churches can be seen wearing face masks and maintaining other covid-linked protocols. This is the second Good Friday amid the pandemic. Last year there was a total lockdown globally during Good Friday and Easter.
