People of many faiths came together to mark Holy Week's most solemn occasion.
With the cadence of a solemn drum line beating and the mournful call of horns filling the plaza, a soundtrack of sorrow echoed across Milam Park as the faithful gathered to commemorate the trial and tribulations of Jesus Christ on Good Friday.

From the oldest, who have been making this pilgrimage for more than thirty years, to a 3-month-old baby swaddled in his mother’s arms, they came to the center of the city to share their hearts and their faith with family, friends and community.
Sheila Morin said she came to the event for the first time because her 7-year-old son is very interested in faith.
“He's been doing his own passion plays at home, so we're here to watch the whole thing. I'm just sad he's not taller," she said.

Morin said while the Easter Bunny and egg hunts are fun, the passion is the reason for the season.

“I'm glad to be here because it brings us all together, even if we're not all of the same faith and belief, we can all respect and tolerate each other and come together as a community and as human beings just to love one another. Whether you believe or don't believe, we are all connected at some point or other,” Morin said.
