Good Friday - Venerdì Santo

On Good Friday, what seemed like a never-ending parade of people silently crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, in a sign of faith dubbed “The Way of the Cross.”
Led by Frank Simmonds, who held high a large wooden cross, we started out at St. James Cathedral-Basilica in Downtown Brooklyn at 10 a.m., then made our way to the bridge, over which we walked before proceeding to Ground Zero.

According to the official website of "The Way of the Cross", this progression can be described as a simple, humble sign offered to ourselves and to everyone as a witness to His merciful presence in our daily lives and as a plea, through His cross and resurrection, that our eyes and heart may be opened to His presence.
