“Devotees Reenact Lord Jesus’ Holy Steps on Goa’s Streets”
In a deeply moving display of faith, Goa witnessed solemn processions on Sunday and Monday, where devotees reenacted Jesus’ Holy Steps as part of Holy Week observances. Several churches across the state featured processions with a pious statue of Jesus carrying the cross, retracing the steps of Jesus to Golgotha, a journey central to Christian faith and tradition.
The events drew large crowds of devotees to the streets, who reflected on Christian life and morals through somber chants and sermons. The statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, depicting the Mother of Jesus witnessing her son carry the cross, evoked deep emotions among the faithful.
A highlight of the processions was the enactment of the hymn of Veronica, where individuals played the role of Veronica, wiping the face of Jesus with a cloth. The imprint of Jesus’ face was then venerated by the public, adding to the spiritual fervor of the occasion.
The statues were later taken to churches, where they were kept for public veneration, drawing devotees seeking solace and spiritual renewal. This powerful reminder of faith, compassion, and sacrifice resonated deeply with the Goan community, showcasing the state’s rich Christian heritage..
