Amid hot spell, Sabah church brings Good Friday tradition house to house


One of the house owners carrying the cross to the next stop to mark the 14 Stations of the Cross Procession at Kepayan Rumah Murah in Kota Kinabalu on Friday (March 29).

KOTA KINABALU: The hot weather and logistical challenges forced the St Thomas More Catholic Church in Kepayan to alter its annual Stations of the Cross procession this year.

Instead of scaling Paradise Hill, which is located about half a kilometre from the church and at an elevation equivalent to a six-storey building, the procession was conducted house to house instead on Friday (March 29).
