A festive atmosphere exists, with the sale of drinks, hot cross buns and other local snacks especially "kueh ko chee", which is traditional for Maundy Thursday.
Eye catching initiatives include church leaders offering free shoe shining on Maundy Thursday and a photography exhibition giving modern versions of ancient paintings.
Aside from its standard production, the brewery produces a special batch of green beer, which is produced only once per year and distributed on Maundy Thursday.
