Rain or shine, Christians in Sabah head for Good Friday mass with umbrellas in hand


Congregates carried umbrellas to the Good Friday mass for two things - to shelter them from Sun and rain.

KOTA KINABALU: Congregates were seen carrying umbrellas as they made their way to the St Thomas More Catholic Church in Kepayan, near here, on Friday (March 29).

Thronging the church for the Good Friday mass, the umbrellas were meant to protect them not only from the scorching Sun but also from a sudden drizzle, which lasted less than two minutes.
