Regular churchgoers, families with young children and curious tourists sat in solemn reflection at Easter services throughout Melbourne on Good Friday.
About 400 people attended a service at Melbourne’s St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, where the sounds of a church choir drifted through the stately stone building.
“I think more people now come to church on Good Friday than did when I was younger,” said the Dean of St Paul’s, the Very Reverend David Richardson said.
