Where students wear special clothes such as robes and they do a series of meditations and prayers that will remind us of Jesus' suffering along the way to the place of His crucifixion. This has a deep meaning for students to learn to appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ more and learn about Love and forgiveness for others.
