WALT: identify how Christian celebrates Holy Week.

Holy week is a sacred and solemn week for Christians. Through their liturgical celebrations - people walk with Jesus in each of his events that he suffered during his final week on earth. These liturgies grow us together to Christ. We are grown as Te Whanau A Te Karaiti into these events (Stations of the Cross) as if each one of us was actually there.  By being part of the activity of the Station of the Cross we are sharing the part of the life and the love that Jesus gave us at that time.
