Members of Holy Innocents Parish in Philadelphia braved chilly temperatures to reenact the Stations of the Cross through the city’s Juniata Park neighborhood on Good Friday, April 2. Originating with early Christian pilgrims, the devotional practice of marking Christ’s journey to crucifixion gained momentum in 16th-century Europe, and remains vibrant in Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran traditions. (Photos by Lorenzo Rivera)
