In the Diocese of Brooklyn a Queens parish was living out the Passion of Christ.

An English and Spanish reenactment started in the pews of St. Joseph’s Church before heading out to the streets of Astoria.

A choir was leading the way as one parishioner, playing the part of Jesus, carried a cross and acted out Christ’s road to Calvary.

Others portrayed the other important roles in the biblical story, like Mary and the women who wept at His crucifixion.

After Jesus was “nailed” to the cross during the reenactment, the parishioners returned inside to pray.
