Living Heritage Experiences in the Context of the COVID-19 pandemic - Good Friday

An estimated 18.8% of Singapore’s population are Christians spread across various denominations including Catholicism, Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist.

Good Friday, which commemorates the death of Jesus Christ and typically involves large numbers of people gathering at churches across in Singapore, was observed on Friday 10 April 2020.

As a result of COVID-19, religious services and gatherings had been suspended since February. Since then, religious services such as masses have been live-broadcasted through the official websites of the different churches.

An example of the online streaming of Catholic services can be found on this website.
Online streaming was carried out by churches on Good Friday and the Easter weekend.

For example, the procession of Stations of the Cross which typically sees the congregation in church or on outdoor church grounds, was done via a pre-recorded session instead. This is so that worshippers could continue to be part of the worship and do so at their own time during the day.
