Large number of devotees turned up at Churches across the city where prelates led special prayers to mark the day.
Christians started their day with fasting and went to the church to offer prayers and recalled the entire trial of Jesus, and how he was crucified.
Some even fasted for around 40 days before Good Friday in keeping with tradition.
As a part of the ceremony priest narrated the tale of betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion of Christ which was followed by customary drinking of "choruka".
