In several neighborhoods across the city and the suburbs, Christians celebrated with a sacred tradition: the Stations of the Cross.
The pain was palpable as participants re-enacted the final hours of the life of Jesus Christ. It is meant to show the tremendous sacrifice Christians believe Jesus endured for them by carrying the cross to the place where they would crucify him."It's a reminder for us to be obedient and be humble," Rosalinda Salgado said.
"This is not a show. This is participation and meditation," said Fr. Esequiel Sanchez, Our Lady of Guadalupe. "The more people think about it, the more they are able to digest it and live it out the rest of the year."In Pilsen, following a re-enactment of the Last Supper in the basement of Providence of God Church, there was a procession down 18th Street representing Jesus' journey carrying the cross through Jerusalem leading up to his crucifixion.
Good Friday observances are central to the Christian faith. Luisa Arroyabe hopes to share the experience with her 8-year-old daughter.
