The annual Good Friday Walk lead by Bishop Niall Coll
A large crowd attended the annual Good Friday Walk lead by Bishop of Ossory Niall Coll in solidarity with the people both here and abroad who carry the cross of homelessness, war, famine, migrancy, trafficking and abandonment.
A relic of the True Cross was carried in procession for the service of blessing and prayer from St John’ s Church to the Friary.
Members of the Ukrainian community joined in the walk for peace in their homeland.
This is the third time that the relic will be used on Good Friday for blessing of those who come to the walk and service. The relic of the true cross is one of a kind in the world and has the original and official seal of authenticity and approval by the Vatican.
This was the 21st year of the walk, which left from St Johns Church. It moved down John Street and up High Street to the Capuchin Friary Church for prayer around the Cross.
"The annual Good Friday walk is a symbol of our solidarity with those who suffer," said Fr Willie Purcell.
