Photographer RAMON WILLIAMS was there for some of this year's Easter celebrations in Sydney...

PALM SUNDAY: Wesley Mission held its annual Palm Sunday procession in the Circular Quay area on 28th March. The parade of "Jesus" riding on a donkey aroused interest from tourists and passers-by.

WAY OF THE CROSS: Wesley Mission also presented The Way of the Cross Procession, from   Martin Place to Wesley Mission, on Good Friday, 2nd April. Above, 'Jesus' is betrayed by a kiss while, below, the Christ carries His cross.

EASTER AWAKENING: The 21st Easter Awakening, celebrating 'Hope and Harmony', took place on 4th April in Australia's capital cities. In Sydney, a preparation rally took place in Sydney Square, followed by a march to Hyde Park for a family fun festival, celebrating Easter. As shown in these pictures, people of all ages and nationalities took part.
