MANHATTAN — Several hundred people packed the Brooklyn Bridge Friday, April 15 — Good Friday — to demonstrate their love of the Living Christ for his sacrifice more than 2,000 years ago.

“I think it’s beautiful, very beautiful,” said Karen Costable of Westchester County. “It is a message of love.”

A brilliant sunny sky and a light breeze greeted the marchers led by Bishop Robert Brennan.

This “Way of the Cross” procession stepped off from the Cathedral-Basilica of St. James, and then stretched across the Brooklyn Bridge. It stopped at City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan and ended at St. Andrew’s Church on Cardinal Hayes Place.

The marchers observed the Stations of the Cross along the way.

It was the first Way of the Cross procession, sponsored by Communion and Liberation, since 2019. The ensuing two years were canceled because of the pandemic.

Costable was making her first Good Friday trek across the bridge with her son, Joe. She is a member of St. John the Evangelist Parish in White Plains, N.Y..

“My sister, Ruth, up in front of us a little bit, has always been very enthusiastic about coming and be a part of this,” Costable said. “This year, we were able to make it happen.”
