“It wasn’t hard to prepare them, because most of them come from Christian backgrounds.
“So they had knowledge about it,” she added.

“Because things that have happened in this day and the next three days, it has never happened before, it will never happen again,” Mr Ravolaca said.
“Jesus died for us and he came back to life. And that is something that is amazing to all human beings.”
