South Chicago's annual Good Friday event draws hundreds of worshippers.
Luis Gomez plays the part of Jesus Christ as he carries the cross followed by hundreds of faithful during a reenactment of the Way of the Cross down the streets of the city's South Chicago community on Good Friday.
Playing Mary Magdalene, a saint who Scripture says was a follower of Jesus, was what connected Mota to her faith and to the community of“Just thinking about it brings me chills. It means something more to me,” Mota said Friday, looking at the young girls who hula-hooped and ran around on the blue-checkered basement floor of Immaculate Conception after this year’s procession.. Her mother, Sandra Mota, organizes the Via Crucis Viviente every year.
typically attracts thousands, South Chicago’s crowd was tight-knit — closer to hundreds. Kids wore helmets and red capes, and stood on the top of a semitruck covered with a brown sheet. A hush came over the crowd as the reenactment started. The Rev. Pius Kokose, 55, is the pastor of Immaculate Conception. He’s been a priest for almost 25 years, and said Holy Week is always one of his favorite weeks of the year.He said he mostly serves migrant communities — from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, Nigeria, Puerto Rico and Colombia. Many people in this neighborhood come to Chicago with deep roots in Catholicism.
