3/21/2008 - 3/21/2008Trinidad Way of the Cross Procession
Trinidad,
Cuba
Symbolising the different stages of Jesus Christ's walk toward crucifixion, the Roman Catholic festival of the Trinidad Way of the Cross Procession takes place in the town of Trinidad on Cuba's south coast. During this incredible procession, pilgrims follow a route through the streets of the colonial town that oozes character and charm from every street and building. All religious ceremonies had been barred by the Castro government since 1959, but they were reintroduced when John Paul II visited the country and met with Castro in 1998.
