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.
