What do we do at 3pm when Christ died on the cross? Are we to be silent/praying/meditating/saying the rosary? For how long?

When I wasn’t practicing our faith, I always paused and reflected at 9am & 3pm on Good Friday and will do so today as well.

Some churches have Good Friday service at 3pm. That’s when I’m going.
 
It is an excellent time to say the first day’s Chaplet of Divine Mercy for those who are doing the novena.
 
In most parishes the Reading of the Passion and adoration of the Cross is at 3:00. We had about 700 in attendance. It too 50 minutes for all to adore the Cross.
 
Not able to attend church service for Good Friday this year, but prayed Stations of the Cross at home at 3pm - I have a prayer book with pics and prayers for the stations.

Besides which, I thought He was on the Cross for 3 hours, which makes it noon to 3pm. I could be wrong.

Yes, 3pm was the time of His death. He was on the cross for three hours. I think 9am commemorates the start of His Passion—starting with the scourging, crowning of thorns, way of the cross, and then crucifixion at noon.

I did a brief reflection at 3pm. Otherwise, I watched the Passion of the Christ this evening.
