Christians in Oman mark Good Friday in runup to Easter

Muscat: Christian residents gathered to participate in Friday prayer services and meditations, commemorating Christ’s suffering and death on the cross.

Good Friday, rooted in centuries-old Christian tradition, remembers the betrayal of Jesus by his disciple Judas, his subsequent arrest by Roman authorities, and the final order for crucifixion issued by Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. Jesus carried his cross through the streets of Jerusalem to Calvary, where he was crucified — an act that forms the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
As the holy season of Lent draws to a close, these prayer services reflect not only sorrow and reverence, but also anticipation, with Easter Sunday — celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on the third day — just around the corner.
In Oman, the occasion was marked with both solemnity and unity, showcasing the religious diversity and cultural harmony within the Sultanate. These pictures capture the spiritual intensity and community spirit as residents stood together in prayer, reflection, and hope.
