Christians worldwide will observe Good Friday today, marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In Plainfield, congregants of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church will hold a Good Friday .procession starting at 1 p.m. on West Front Street and Park Avenue, then on Madison Avenue, West Sixth Street and Liberty Street to the church for services.
Although Good Friday is not a federal holiday, many institutions will be closed today, including banks, schools, the Plainfield Public Library and city government.
The solemnity of Good Friday is followed by a vigil on Holy Saturday. Easter Sunday is joyous with prayers and feasting to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.
