Annual Via Crucis on Good Friday

On April 6 members of St. Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Parish re-enact a traditional Good Friday Via Crucis, or way of the cross, procession weaving through the Mexican enclave of Little Village on Chicago's southwest side. Portraying Jesus Christ is Mario Ocampo. Several parishes around the archdiocese have Via Crucis processions on Good Friday. Traditionally, actors play the parts from Scripture and the lay faithful accompanies them along the procession route. Photos by Brian J. Morowczynski/Catholic New World
