WHAT IS SONGKRAN?

Songkran is the Thai New Year festival, traditionally celebrated from April 13th to April 15th. It is a time of renewal, reflection, and community, marked by rituals such as water blessings, paying respect to elders, and acts of kindness.

Water plays a central role, symbolizing cleansing, renewal, and the washing away of the past year to welcome new beginnings.

WHAT IS GOOD FRIDAY?

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ; it is a somber day of fasting with no Mass. In the time before Easter, disciples felt as though they were without a God.
