Easter hope after Christchurch.
A reflection on Luke 24:1-12.
I show a number of videos in this reflection:
- The haka outside the Al Noor Mosque (Tenei Te Ruru begins at 00:47) – I play three excerpts of this through the reflection
- 1973 All Blacks haka contrasted with the 2015 All Blacks haka
- Jacinda Ardern’s speech at the National Remembrance Service (Maori section first 45 seconds)
- Schools vigil (Tenei Te Ruru begins at 00:27)
- Cashmere High School haka (Tenei Te Ruru begins at 00:25)
Tenei Te Ruru translation:
Kaea: Tahu Pōtiki Leader: Tahu Potiki
Katoa:
Maraka! Maraka! Group: Rise up! Rise up!
Tēnei te ruru Here is the Ruru
Te koukou nei who calls us
Kīhai māwhitiwhiti, – the head of the Ruru does not toss
Kīhai mārakaraka
from side to side,
Te ūpoko nui o te rūrū
nor up and down –
Terekou
she calls us from
He pō
the darkness
He pō
the darkness
He ao
and into the world
Ka awatea! of light!
The Ruru:
