While we were in Luweero we participated in the way of the cross...the saturday before Easter all the Christians from Luweero and many from surrounding districts participate in this tradition...actors act out the arrest and crucifixion of Christ. the event starts out at St. Timothy's cathedral with Jesus being arrested...then his persecutors make him carry his cross to His crucifixion...the crowd of Christians follow Jesus and the guards as the walk through the town...mean while one of the local priests is preaching in the back of a pick up with a microphone...reading the easter story and exhorting the local Christians to put aside denominational differences to be unified as the body of Christ.
