MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – Christians across the Upper Peninsula are observing Good Friday today, marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
At St. Peter Cathedral, parishioners gathered for solemn services, including the Passion of the lord, recounting the crucifixion of Jesus.
Churches throughout the area are also holding observances as part of Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday.
Good Friday remains one of the most sacred days in the Christian calendar, offering a time for remembrance, faith, and quiet reflection ahead of the celebration of easter.
The bishop of the Marquette diocese, the most reverend John Doerfler, hopes that this message of hope resonates during these difficult
“I think we all need hope, and if we look at things that are happening in the world today, there are all kinds of reasons to be discouraged, but this is a time for hope, because Jesus came to save us,” Said Bishop Doerfler.
