Today, April 15 is Good Friday. A special day for remembering the crucifixion of Jesus and his death on the cross.
Every Good Friday (also known as Holy Friday or Great Friday), Christians alike gather to observe fasting and church services. In some churches, a special service called “Three Hours’ Agony” is held from noon till 3pm to mark the three hours of Christ’s hanging at the cross.
In keeping up with the commemoration, Geeky Nigeria presents the life of Jesus in pictures (from birth to death).
