Christians across the country thronged churches to celebrate Good Friday - a period in the Christian calendar when they remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ - as they ushered in Easter celebrations.

Church leaders took the occasion to urge Kenyans to embrace peace and cultivate reconciliation, especially as the country heads for the General Election in Augusu.
