Good Friday - Queen’s Street Style

posted by Jewelle Tan

St. Joseph's ChurchIt’s Good Friday today and most Catholic churches all over the world would be having their mass at 3.00 pm today.

I said most churches because today, I passed by a church which was having their Good Friday mass at 6.45 pm. Along Queen Street was a old church called St. Joseph’s and there, as expected, were a lot of people standing outside the church.

What was unexpected to me was, across the two lane street and above the balconies of the shoplots directly opposite the church were devotees following the mass through a huge screen placed outside the church building.

How convenient for those who lives in those flats - as they need only open their door, walk to the right balcony and attend the mass. None of those need-to-be-in-church-two-hours-before-or-else-no-seat kind of thing.

By the way, in case you’re wondering where on earth is Queen Street in Brunei - we are in Singapore, of course!
