A Tucson tradition more than a half-century running continues this weekend, beginning on Good Friday afternoon at the base of A Mountain.
TUCSON, Ariz. —
"The original cross, when they first started back in 1966—this was a bunch of kids from the Barrio. They got a big solid piece of wood. They had to hold it up there with rocks," says Piña. It's weatherized, to withstand Tucson's extreme elements, and is held together by a new set of screws—upgraded in recent years from the original nails that held it together.
Good Friday cross processions and the stations of the cross are not unique to Tucson—they make up part of the Good Friday observance by practicing Christians, particularly within the Catholic Church, around the world.
