GOOD FRIDAY MARKED WITH STATION OF THE CROSS
The first day of the long Easter weekend was what most people looked forward to, however for the Catholic faithfuls in Port Moresby, Friday March 29th marked a significant day as it was their annual Station of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, Via Crucis, and Via Dolorosa (Latin for Way of Sorrows). The event consisted of a series of 14 artistic illustrations (stations) capturing key moments during Jesus’ journey to His death on Good Friday where at each station, the masses recalled and meditated on a specific event from Christ's last day. The walk began from St. Charles Luanga in Gerehu and ended at the receiving parish, St. Joseph in East Boroko.
