Good Friday - The Way of the Cross

WORCESTER COUNTY – Parishes around the Diocese of Worcester held Via Crucis – the Way of the Cross – on Good Friday, April 3. Crowds walked and prayed on the streets in their respective city/town. Some people dressed up during the live Stations of the Cross where they portrayed Jesus’ way to Calvary where he was crucified and died.
