Udupi: The parishioners of Kolalgiri observed the Good Friday service with great devotion and reverence by enacting live the Way of the Cross at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church premises on April 19.

Around 50 parishioners actively participated in the Live Way of the Cross as actors, narrators of the scene depicting the Stations of the Cross, readers of meditation and prayers, choir singing the intervening hymns and volunteers who worked in the background.

There was great reverence and silence as the actors enacted the scenes and the narration, meditation and prayers were read. The Live enactment had a great impact on a large number of parishioners who had assembled at the premises of the church. Being the year of Youth, the Indian Catholic Youth Movement took the leadership of the way of the Cross. 50 artistes irrespective of the humid weather along with a large number of parishioners made the devotional programme a successful one.

In a display of devotion to the suffering and passion of Jesus Christ, the parish youth members and other artistes enacted the Scenes of Jesus Christ being sentenced to death, Jesus carrying the cross on the streets of Jerusalem, his crucifixion and burial at Golgotha.

The 14 Stations of the Cross are the Highlight of the Scenes of the way of the Cross, Jesus Meeting his Mother, Simon, Veronica and the Weeping Woman, The 3 Falls, Stripping, Crucifixion, Laying in the Tomb and Resurrection.
