Staying true to its long history and commitment to justice and mercy through worship and the arts, poetry, dance, and historic preservation, St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery announces plans for its annual Good Friday Blues on Friday, April 18 from noon to 3 p.m. 

This service was conceived more than two decades ago by Bishop Catherine Roskam, and Jeannine Otis, director of music at St. Mark's, in collaboration with the Saint Mark's Choir.

WHO: Featuring members of the St. Mark's Choir, and a cast of distinguished actors, singers and instrumentalists. 

The church is on 10th Street at Second Avenue. You can also catch a livestream via YouTube. 

Good Friday on Avenue B

Once again on this Good Friday (yesterday!), parishioners from St. Brigid-St. Emeric on Avenue B took part in a Stations of the Cross processional that started outside the church on the SE corner of Eighth Street ...

The solemn walking pilgrimage — symbolizing the path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary — continued to 12th Street... east to Avenue C... south to Seventh Street. 

This year's journey to the cross seemed a little more intense. (For instance, one of the Roman guards had a 6-foot-long bullwhip.)

... and eventually back to the church...

Sunday services are at 10 a.m. in English and noon in Spanish.

The procession began at St. Brigid on Avenue B and Eighth Street...

Good Friday 2019: Jesus walks, falls on 3rd Street

Once again on this Good Friday, parishioners from several churches in the neighborhood — Most Holy Redeemer, Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Mary's Grand — took part in the Stations of the Cross.
