The Easter Story

The students at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School presented ‘The Easter Story’ in St John’s Church
Trafalgar. The students re-enacted the events of Holy Week telling the story of the last week in
Jesus’ life. The presentation started with Jesus being welcomed into Jerusalem and then Jesus
shared his last meal with his friends in The Last Supper. The students acted out the Stations of the
Cross using a series of still, human photographs, together with music (both modern and traditional),
as they helped the people to think deeply about this story.
The students felt privileged to lead the community in prayer.
