Latin Mass Good Friday Procession - Catholic Stock Photo
A Holy Week procession is a public ritual march of clergy and penitents which takes place during Holy Week in Christian countries, especially those with a Catholic culture. Various images of the saints, especially the Virgin Mary, and most importantly the image of the crucified Christ are carried aloft by foot as a penance; acts of mortification are carried out; traditional Christian hymns and chants are sung (except during the silent processions of Good Friday).
