Australians mark Good Friday with church services

Thousands of Christian faithful in Australia flocked to churches and participated in processions to mark Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and death on Good Friday. Lebanese Maronite Catholic churches of St Joseph’s and St. Charbel’s in Sydney overflowed as hundreds of people marked one of the most sacred days in the Christian calendar.

In Melbourne, thousands of people attended the Way of the Cross walk through the city’s streets to commemorate Jesus’ final journey to crucifixion and burial.
