Thousands have gathered at churches for Good Friday services across Australia with prayers, reflection and messages of love and harmony from religious leaders.In Brisbane, dozens of churchgoers at EFKS Southwest Brisbane dressed in white and gathered at the Samoan Church to celebrate Good Friday."For us, white represents a new life in our culture; it's such a significant day, so we wear white clothes," churchgoer Vao said.
"It's a special day for all of us in the Samoan community; we come together and worship, and we're able to see each other," she said.Anglican Church Southern Queensland Archbishop Jeremy Greaves said in his Good Friday message, "no matter how desperate things seem, it does get better".Archbishop Greaves said he hoped people could use the Easter break to find strength, hope and courage to "sing alleluia" in the face of "the darkness of the world".
Hundreds began the walk at one of Melbourne's oldest churches, St Francis on Lonsdale Street, and concluded at St Paul's Cathedral on Flinders Street.The walk takes Christians of different denominations on a journey through Melbourne's city centre, stopping at many of the city's historic churches to share reflections, songs, and prayers.It passes from church to church, commemorating Jesus's journey from the Last Supper to the crucifixion and resurrection.
