Several hundred people joined one of the largest public Christian peace witnesses in New York City on Good Friday this year. In this our 42nd year, Pax Christi Metro New York commemorated Good Friday as a modern-day enactment of the Stations of the Cross, praying for peace and justice on the streets of our city.

We remembered that throughout our lives, Jesus calls us to active non-violence. This year our theme is “Walking with Jesus, how do we live our lives?”
We met at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza (47th St. at 1st Ave.) at 8:30 AM and proceeded along 42nd St. to between 8th and 9th Avenues, ending around noon.
The Good Friday Way of the Cross is organized each year by Pax Christi Metro New York, a regional section of Pax Christi, the international Catholic movement for peace.
