GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) – As Easter weekend begins, folks across the East are starting to celebrate and to remember the meaning behind the holiday.
Some parishioners carried a cross at St.Peter Catholic Church in Greenville as they observed the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday.
The tradition is centuries old and encourages people to walk with the cross to stations near the church to commemorate Jesus’ walk bearing the cross.
“One of the main things we have to remember is that God entered the world for this purpose.” Father Jim Magee, St. Peter’s Catholic Church, said. “We recognize from that the great love he has for us from that. It is a very powerful message that people need to hear in their lives.”
The Stations of the Cross has been an ongoing event at St. Peter Catholic Church for more than 40 years.
