Nation’s capital observes Good Friday

This morning Port Moresby residents took to the streets to mark another Good Friday with the Stations of the Cross.

Christians woke up as early as 3am to make the trip to the Queen Mary of the Pacific Church in Waigani and follow the cross as it journeyed around the nation’s capital.

The cross will go through Waigani CBD then around Gordon’s through to Waigani Drive and end up at Gerehu stage 6 for the traditional Easter Friday mass.

Catholic parishioners, families, Bomana inmates, armed service representatives as well as the general public were out in full force as a show of faith to mark this iconic religious event.

The Walk, synonymous with the Catholic denomination, has gradually throughout the years gained a following from not just religious non-Catholic denominations but everyday citizens who walk to show a general spirit of camaraderie during Easter.
