Krista Puran or Christian Puran or Marathi Puran is a centuries old document on the Passion of Christ usually sung on Palm Sunday and Good Friday. In earlier days the East Indian family would sit together every night in the period of lent to sing the Krista Puran. Recently, we see families restarting this practise.
