On Good Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, encouraging people to uphold the values of kindness and compassion.

PM Modi expressed hope for continued peace and unity in society.

Also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, or Black Friday, Good Friday marks the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary.

It is observed by Christians around the world as a day of solemn reflection, mourning, and prayer.

The observance takes place on the Friday before Easter Sunday and, however, symbolizes the suffering and redemption of Christ.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju reflected on the significance of the day, stating on X, “On this solemn day, I join everyone in remembering the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His life is a timeless call to serve with humility and embrace compassion in our everyday actions.”

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra echoed similar sentiments.

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. According to the New Testament, Roman authorities carried out the crucifixion under the rule of Pontius Pilate.

Jesus was, however, condemned to death. He had been accused of blasphemy by Jewish religious leaders. They charged him for declaring himself the Son of God.
