CANORA - An Easter tradition held to mark Jesus’ last days on Earth was held for a third year.
On Good Friday, April 18, the St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church held a Way of the Cross Walk.
The procession stopped 14 times to mark the events of that day, beginning with Jesus’ condemnation and ending with Jesus being laid in the tomb. At each stop, a prayer was read, with the crowd responding, “Lord Jesus, help us to walk in your steps.” The process is known by Catholics as the Stations of the Cross.
“Walking the way of the Cross means honoring Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross by living the life model that he gave us – walking the way of love,” said Lynda Statchuk, the organizer of the event, in a pervious year. “The cross teaches us that forgiveness takes sacrifice, even on our part toward others.”
After the walk was over, the church held an Easter Friday service.
