SINGAPORE: Christians and Catholics all over the world gathered in churches Friday to mark Good Friday - the day they believe Jesus Christ was crucified.

In Singapore, Catholics of different nationalities commemorated this special day at St Joseph's Church, along Victoria Street.

As the sun set, they rolled into the church grounds and lit candles for their prayers.

Every year, the church is filled to the brim with worshippers, who spill onto the church grounds in candlelight vigil.

They sang hymns and prayed for the sick and needy.

On Sunday, they will mark the resurrection of Christ with Easter Sunday.
