Members of Saint Matthew Community Baptist Church and residents of the Grove gathered at Coconut Grove Cemetery on Good Friday to walk behind the cross. The event, now in its sixth year, is a recreation of Jesus’ last steps.
“It’s to let people know that we feel we have our cross to bear too,” said Lottie Person, a former member of the Coconut Grove Village Council and the creator of the Good Friday walk.
