A statue of Mary stands next to a sculpture of the body of Jesus as parishioners pray the rosary in St. Agnes of Bohemia Church, 2651 S. Central Park Ave., before carrying the sculpture or Jesus in an outdoor procession. The prayers and procession are part of the Pésame devotion, during which participants unite with Mary’s grief over the death of her son.
