Good Friday Walk of Witness Crosses Dublin City
The sun shone and Dublin’s streets were crowded as the annual Good Friday Walk of Witness made its way across the city centre this evening. Archbishop Michael Jackson and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin led the procession carrying a Taizé cross from Christ Church Cathedral to St Mary’s Pro Cathedral – a distance of over two kilometres.
During the short service in Christ Church Cathedral before the procession began, Archbishop Jackson thanked Archbishop Martin for instigating the walk three years ago and thanked everyone for joining the walk and taking the opportunity to bring the message of Good Friday to the streets of the city.
Afterwards in the Pro Cathedral, Archbishop Martin said the event was important for both Archbishops to undertake together and was testament to the points both traditions held in common.
People of all traditions joined the procession and prayed together around the Taizé cross at the end.
