Hundreds turn up for way of the Cross

Hundreds of Catholic followers living in and around Port Moresby turned up in huge numbers this morning to participate in the way of the cross from the St John Catholic parish at Tokarara to the Don Bosco Technical Institute.

The majority of the people that turned up for the walk were students from all the Catholic schools in the city and all of them had their own reasons for participating in carrying the cross.

17 years old Melissa Vele who joined the crowd from Waigani up to 4 mile said, such is the tradition of Catholics throughout the world and they do this to honour the death of Jesus Christ who died to save mankind from their sins.

“The way of the cross is to remind all of us especially the Catholic Church on what Jesus had to endure on the day that he was crucified and all Christians should take time out to remember the very person that He died for our sins” said Melissa. PNGFM
