Good Friday today
Only two 'Jinzvar' left - Today and Ash Wednesday.
At home we were served Canji or Pez whole day today.
Pez with 'Miskutt' or 'Hareacho' or 'Katlecho' or yesterday's leftover 'attoulo
kolli'
Strictly No Fish No meat today.
Because, today is the day Lord Jesus Christ died on the Cross

Today, my mother used to give me 'Chaar Anne' i.e. 15paise for Jesus
and 10 paise for O/L of 7 Sorrows. But I put 10 paise to Christ and
5 poixe to Saibinn the remaining 10 paise I spent to buy 'gorom
gorom bhoje' which were available just outside the church. We
could smell/flavour of 'Bhoje' right inside the Church around
6.00pm onwards. Bhoje then sold at the rate of 2p or 5 for 10
poixe
Today, we attended the church say at 3pm and stayed there till 8.00pm
as this was the time the Good Friday ceremony used to get over,
I, know now, this time is reduced by keeping two Images of
'Crucified Jesus Christ' for public veneration or kissing with
two money collection trays or boxes.
Two crucifixs at one place does not really look good.
