Living the Way of the Cross

Aside from the normal Easter festivities that New Orleans has cooked up annually, it also has special traditions for Good Friday.  One of these traditions is the Living the Way of the Cross.  This is a march through the Central Business District "designed to dramatize the continuing social problems that can trace their origins back to the teachings of Jesus 2,000 years ago" (WWLTV).  The march begins around 9 am at the St. Joseph's Church on Tulane Avenue near Claiborne.  It usually takes most of the morning.  This parade often stops at social landmarks to commemorate social problems in our city and nation.  I find it interesting that people go out and try to bring such social awareness on such a solemn day.  I would definitely love to go and watch to see exactly how this march works, because there is little to be found on the internet!  This sounds like a great way to get out and see all that New Orleans has to offer!
