Good Friday Through Generations | Vasai’s 550-Year Christian Heritage

Описание: Experience a spiritual journey through 550+ years of Christian tradition in Vasai, where history, music, and faith intertwine in one of India’s oldest Good Friday services.
This sacred ritual features the Descent from the Cross – a dramatic, emotional reenactment deeply rooted in Portuguese Catholic tradition. The highlight? A powerful Marathi rendition of “Faithful Cross” (Crux Fidelis)—originally penned by Venantius Fortunatus in the 6th century.
Musical Arrangements by Gorden D'Silva, including the touching "Nearer My God to Thee" / तुजजवळ हे देवा, set the tone for this reflective evening.
Performed with devotion by various parishes across Vasai, this Good Friday procession honors the legacy of Portuguese missionaries and the heartfelt adoption of these traditions by the local Marathi-speaking Christian community.
