Hundreds gathered to witness the depiction of Jesus’ suffering, crucifixion and resurrection.
Joseph Dias, general secretary of the CSF, led the initiative, which he started over 35 years ago
The enactment aimed to raise awareness about the significance of Good Friday as a day of mourning and reflection
According to Dias, the enactment also served as a dignified form of protest against rising intolerance and discrimination.
Notable stations included Jesus’ sentencing by Pontius Pilate, his three falls, and his meeting with his mother.
The programme drew parallels with similar enactments held in the Philippines and Latin America
The walk began from the 7th Road area and also included performances at the Pratiksha Nagar Residents Association premises.
Dias explained that the purpose of the enactment was to offer a Christian response of prayer and penance when human efforts have failed
He compared the Good Friday public prayers and messages to those delivered by Gandhi and Lokmanya Tilak to unite the people
