The sounds of this morning’s Santo Viacrusis (Stations of the Cross) moving closer, brought me into the mostly deserted streets before 9:00 AM.
A block away, I found Jesús, La Virgen María, a priest, acolytes, the faithful, and a loudspeaker on the back of a pickup truck.
Led by the children, images of María and Jesús from churches throughout the city had taken to the streets.
Stopping along the way to pray and sing, the solemn throng made their way to the Cathedral for a farewell encounter between Mary and Jesus.
It will be a long day for all concerned. Following the encuentro, they will process back to their churches for a bit of a rest before this evening’s grand Procession of Silence.
