""Good Friday, the Via Crucis, the traditional Stations of the Cross. It's a reminder that Christ is walking with us. And we all bare our crosses in one way or another in life. And so this is a beautiful symbol of that," said Domeneck Canale, spokesperson for Communion & Liberation."
""In a way, we're bridging so many different divides," Canale added, emphasizing the significance of the procession beyond just Good Friday."

The Way of the Cross procession on the Brooklyn Bridge has been a tradition for three decades, fostering a sense of community among Christian New Yorkers.
