Every Good Friday at 11 am, the Shrine organises a Re-enactment of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. It is very well done with countless actors. It is a significant event in the life of the Shrine, drawing about 7000 people each year. The Liturgy of Good Friday is celebrated at the Shrine after the Re-Enactment of the Passion at 3 pm in the Shrine Church. The Live Re-enactment of the Passion offers a great way to spend the Good Friday Public Holiday, with confessions in the morning, the Passion Play, the Liturgy and an excellent site for a meat-less BBQ with the family (Good Friday is a day of fasting and abstinence from meat, there’s a challenge for you).
