The Living Stations of the Cross, that depict the Crucifixion  and death of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago, was portrayed on Good Friday in Easton.

Nearly 50  costumed re-enactors and  several hundred people -- many whom are parishioners at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Easton -- walked in procession from St. Bernard Oratory on S. Fifth St., through streets of downtown and South Side Easton, to Our Lady of Mercy at St. Joseph and Davis Sts., where Jesus was crucified on a Cross.

Hi, this is Yessica the one who depicted the Virgen Mary. Thank you very much for attending our ceremony and taking beautiful and vibrant pictures. I hope it was an enjoyable time for you and that you are willing to come next year. I was also curious if you had any more pictures of the procession. Thank you very much. God bless you and have a great day.

Yessica: I can ask Ed Koskey, who took the photos, if he has anything else.
