The procession continues south to Court Avenue.
The "walk" symbol lights the way
The crowd moves steadily west along Court Avenue
The Polk County Courthouse watches the approaching processional
A somber crowd of followers
The Courthouse, a symbol of human judgement, stares down at the Cross
The faithful approach the Polk County Jail
The Cross arrives, providing comfort and healing to those within these walls
Station Eleven: Jesus promises to share His reign with good thief
Station Twelve: Jesus in on the Cross with His Mother and Disciple below
Sharing a message for all from prisoners
A pedestrian crossing sign reminds us of our task today
The Cross is the "One Way"
Signs everywhere reminding us of our mission to walk in Jesus' path
Even the graffiti holds a message for today
Even the bus reminds us to be "walkers"
Bearing the Cross is a sacred responsibility
The Cross approaches St. Ambrose
The Cross rests near Principal Financial
Station Thirteen: Jesus dies on
the Cross
Station Fourteen: Jesus is placed in the tomb
Station Fourteen: Jesus is placed in the tomb
Another walker assumes the responsibility to carry the Cross
After all the concrete, we approach a bit of green grass
The Cross rests on a gentle hill at Principal Park
Station Fifteen: The Resurrection!
While worshippers quietly reflect on the afternoon's spiritual journey. Even the Cross quietly returns to its resting place.
