On Good Friday yesterday, parishioners from St. Brigid–St. Emeric on Avenue B took part in the (annual!) Stations of the Cross procession, which began outside the church at the southeast corner of Eighth Street.
The solemn walk — symbolizing the path Jesus took to Mount Calvary — continued north to 12th Street, east to Avenue C, then south to Seventh Street before returning to the church.
Along the way, participants paused for the traditional stations, with reenactments marking each step of the journey.
This year's procession seemed to carry a little extra intensity — some of the reenactments didn't exactly hold back.

Why is this necessary?
JESUS IS KING
A very moving and impressive ceremony, made even more poignant this year by the recent loss of our beloved priest Father Francis McGourn. We will miss him terribly. Rest In Peace Father Francais.
A very heavy day for us Christians - Praise the Lord
It is a religious ritual like any other. Not necessary to you (or to me) but meaningful to the people involved
It's no more necessary than say, meditation or pickleball or going to the theater. Different strokes for different folks.
Sadly this used to be based at Most Holy Redeemer
