"""Parishioners from the Catholic Diocese of Alexandria walk in the annual Passion Walk from St. Francis Xavier Cathedral on Fourth Street in downtown Alexandria to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church on Elliott Street on Friday, April 19, 2019. The Friday before Easter is observed as Good Friday which is the day Christians observe as the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As parishioners walked, they stopped to pray at each of the 14 Stations of the Cross. Each station depicted the 14 events from Jesus Christ's last day on Earth. Father Dan O'Connor, pastor of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, said pausing at each station is a way to meditate on the """"things that happened to Jesus on the way to Calvary."""" Calvary is a hill near Jerusalem is where the Crucifixion took place.""""It's good for us to take some time today to remember Jesus' sacrifice for us so we could be forgiven of our sins,"""" said O'Connor."""
