Christchurch Earthquake commemorative ceremony
Posted by Owen Sharpe · 4 Comments
New Zealand went silent for two minutes at 12.51pm local time, a week since the devastating earthquake. People gathered in solemn ceremony to mourn the tragedy.
In central Christchurch, now our “ground zero”, Maori mourners sang “Whakaaria Mai”, our English and Maori version of the Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art” .
