IPOH, March 30 ― Thousands of Catholics attended the Good Friday service at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes here today. Penitents carry heavy crosses and bare their backs for flagellation-getting beaten until they bleed by men portraying Roman soldiers.
Robert said that in the Catholic perspective, there are three sections in the Good Friday service. Darkness fell on the land for three-long hours as Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross on the mount of Calvary or Golgotha as some call it, near Jerusalem. "Help us spend time in the shadow of the cross", said Pastor Laurie Krieg of the Colebrook and Windsor United Methodist churches.
"We want to bring peace, to give people hope and to work to change the unjust structures", says Dougherty.
Michelle Bowden came for the first time this year, after reading about it in the newspaper.
Franciscan Spirituality Center Associate and Spiritual Director Steve Spilde says the walk is a flawless way to honor Jesus on Good Friday.
"Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ".

But then why is this particular Friday - a day marked as Jesus" death day - called "Good' Friday?
An NPR report on Good Friday described Easter inaccurately and, in doing so, practically begged Christians to renew charges that the media is biased against them.
There are many theories as to why the day that remembers Jesus' death on the cross is known as Good Friday.
Good Friday is a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death.
.Sharing his beliefs with Free Press, devotee Vincent Paul said, "Jesus died for our sins". Which is why, Christians consider it a day of great blessings. "We will carry the cross to all the churches in the downtown area, pray, read scriptures and encourage one another", he said.
The group ended their 3-mile journey at Bethany Presbyterian Church where the cross was erected, followed by a short prayer service in honor of Good Friday.
