East 47th Street at 1st Avenue 8:30 a.m.
On Good Friday 2025, members and friends of Pax Christi gathered together for one of the largest public Christian witnesses for peace in New York City. In this, our 43rd 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 remember that throughout our lives, Jesus calls us to active non-violence.
This year our theme was, “In a time of polarization and conflict, how do we follow the path of Jesus?”
The walk began at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza (East 47th Street at 1st Avenue) and proceeded along 42nd Street to between 8th and 9th Avenues.
The Good Friday Way of the Cross is organized each year by Pax Christi Metro New York, a regional section of Pax Christi USA, which is part of Pax Christi International, the Catholic peace movement.
