T

he Jakarta Cathedral made use of an online registration system for its Good Friday and Holy Saturday services this year for the second time to ensure orderliness. According to the cathedral’s spokesperson, Susyana Suwadie, the online registration was employed to deter seat-keeping practices.

“The online registration is used so that worshipers avoid being crushed. Meanwhile, there is also the practice of saving seats,” said Susyana on Friday as quoted by kompas.com, noting that the registration system was a way to educate worshippers.

For those who did not register online, Susyana said they were welcome to attend services directly on the cathedral’s grounds, where the organizers had prepared tents and chairs.

Good Friday services will be split into four sessions, with the first held at 9 a.m. Three additional other services will be held at 12 p.m., 3 p.m, and 6 p.m.(jlm)
