Christians attended Good Friday services in LA and around the world
Archbishop José H. Gomez presided over the Good Friday Mass on Friday at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles.
Christians around the world mark the endurance and suffering of Jesus before death on the cross on Good Friday.
The liturgy at the cathedral’s noon service was from the Gospel of John and known as the Lord’s Passion. The Lord’s Passion, always read on Good Friday, was also proclaimed at the cathedral’s 3 p.m. service and was planned for the 7 p.m. service.
