Via Crucis

The Way of the Cross.

Catholics around the world each year commemorate Good Friday in processions that follow the Stations of the Cross, reenactments of Christ's final hours. These events bring out the faithful by the hundreds, if not the thousands. A somber observance, yet filled with passion and enthusiasm, the dramatic portrayal by the costumed reenactors leaves few celebrants unmoved.

These images were shot last year in Langley Park, MD.

  1. Mike,

    Very nice series here, almost like being on a film set! I especially enjoyed the 2nd and 5th from the top as well as the final portrait- strong sense of emotion there.
