One year on from the Christchurch mosque shootings, Whanganui Muslims are still feeling supported by the community, Imam Mukarram Mairaj says.
"The outpourings of love from the community really helped us come to terms with what had happened," he said.
After Whanganui people learned of the attacks a year ago tomorrow, many bouquets and messages were placed at the Masjid-E-Bilal mosque in Whanganui East.
Nga Tangata Tiaki o Whanganui led a dawn karakia where people of all races and religions gathered at Putiki to send thoughts, prayers and intentions to those afflicted in Christchurch and a peace vigil was held at the Handspan peace sculpture in Pukenamu Queenspark.
