An estimated 700 people joined in Good Friday prayers at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica after the annual Way of the Cross through the streets of downtown Ottawa.
Ottawa’s Catholic Archbishop Terrence Prendergast led participants from St. Patrick Basilica on Kent Street, stopping for prayers, readings, poetry and song at landmarks including the Supreme Court of Canada, Parliament Hill and the National Gallery of Canada.
The morning event, in its 11th year of being organized by members of the ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation, commemorates what to believers was Jesus’s journey through the streets of Jerusalem on the day of his death.
“Jesus was crucified, died and was resurrected 2,000 years ago,” event organizer David McConkey said. “For us, with so much time having passed, it’s easy to think it’s just a story, it’s just a doctrine, it’s just something that’s kind of disconnected from our lives …
“Doing this helps to spur that memory — there’s something that took place 2,000 years ago. It’s a fact and it’s relevant to me now.”

That relevance is shown by the dedication of organizers and the hundreds who turned out, he said, to walk between local landmarks.
“They’re symbolic,” McConkey said of the sites. “We’re not protesting, we’re not out trying to make a point. We’re out, each one for themselves, to have an encounter with a person who lived 2,000 years ago but still lives. And you can see it in, why are these people here?”
What’s known as Holy Week is “the most solemn week of the Catholic Church’s calendar,” according to the archdiocese.
“The Easter Mystery is the foundation of Christian faith,” Prendergast said in his annual Easter message. “Without the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, says St. Paul, ‘our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain.’ ”
The three holiest days of the Christian year — Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday — span the great joy of Jesus’s first mass, his “profound suffering” and finally the day that affirms that “God’s love triumphs over death,” he said.

“Easter is a time to celebrate God’s love for us, a love that He definitively proves in the death and resurrection of His Son,” Prendergast said. “We mediate that love to each other in our family. God calls us to reflect it to the world.”
Saturday is the Easter Vigil, described as “the most solemn liturgy of the Church’s year.”
Sunday is the Mass of the Lord’s Resurrection.
