Stations of the Cross 2019: Christ Crucified in Rochester
Good Friday April 19, 2019 at 11:00 AM
Meet at Rochester City Hall (30 Chestnut St.)
For twenty years, the House of Mercy, St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality and Rochester Pax Christi have gathered to commemorate Good Friday, the day on which Jesus was executed by the Roman Empire. We remember Jesus’ suffering and death, but we also call to mind ways in which the Powers and Principalities crucify Jesus today, by oppressing and killing the poor and marginalized in order to maintain and increase governmental and corporate power. While we expose and denounce these Powers, we also, as Christians, bear in mind that on Easter Sunday, we will celebrate Jesus’ triumph over the power of death, through His Resurrection. In His Resurrection, He exposes the ultimate futility of the powers of oppression and death.
