COMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2019 BRIEFS File photo Participants re-enact a scene depicting Jesus meeting his mother during the 2018 ‘Way of the Cross,’ an annual Easter production in Hermiston. This year’s event is Friday, April 19 beginning at noon in the parking lot at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church. Catholic youths present ‘Way of the Cross’ By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR A dramatic and moving re-enactment of the events leading up to the crucifi xion of Jesus Christ is being presented by Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church. In its 22nd year, “Way of the Cross” features primarily youths from the church, said Vincent Trevino, who has been coor- dinating the effort with his wife, Maria, the past few years. Featuring scenes from Sta- tions of the Cross — a series of images that portray Jesus on the day of his crucifi xion — the presentation offers a powerful visual reminder of the biblical story of Easter. The public is invited to observe the production Friday, April 19 — Good Fri- day — beginning at noon in the church’s parking lot, 565 W. Hermiston Ave., Herm- iston. Participants will travel along the streets acting out the scenes, culminating in a depiction of Christ’s crucifi xion on the top of the Hermiston Butte. With uneven ground leading up to the butte, people are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes. Reader boards set up at the beginning of each scene will show which Station of the Cross is being portrayed. The bi-lin- gual presentation also includes the singing of hymns and prayers. Biblical accounts of events leading up to the crucifi xion of Jesus can be found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the New Testament. While “Way of the Cross” concludes with Christ’s death, Trevino encourages that people attend an Easter Sunday service, which celebrates his resurrection. For more information about the “Way of the Cross,” call Our Lady of Angels Catho- lic Church at 541-567-5812.
