Jesus, played by Pedro Suarez, carries the cross to his crucifixion during a Good Friday re-enactment of the Easter story known as the Stations of the Cross at Laurel Park last year. Many churches plan services throughout Holy Week, including communitywide events at lunchtime at five different churches next week.
A triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper with the 12 disciples, a trial and crucifixion followed by his death and burial and finally his resurrection all happened in a week’s time. Christians call it Holy Week. “Traditionally it is a week for fasting and prayer and special devotions,” said the Rev. Stuart Higginbotham, rector of Grace Episcopal Church.
