This Good Friday, members of the Christian community will walk over 7 km starting from Khar's Sacred Heart Church. A troupe of actors will enact scenes believed to have happened on the first Good Friday.
The procession with tableaus will wend its way through the lanes of Khar, Santacruz, Vakola and Kalina. The crucifixion dramatization near St. Anthony's Church, Vakola is known to move many to tears, even as some stand barefeet at the end of a spiritual experience of 40 days of prayer, fasting, abstinence and repentance.
Mumbaikars can witness the Calvary (place where Jesus was crucified) story, with biblical characters acting out the arrest and the last few hours before Jesus's death.
The 14 stations of the cross as per Wikipedia are:
1. Jesus is condemned to death
2. Jesus carries his cross
3. Jesus falls the first time
4. Jesus meets his mother
5. Simon or Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry the cross
6. Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
7. Jesus falls the second time
8. Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
9. Jesus falls the third time
10. Jesus' clothes are taken away
11. Crucifixion: Jesus is nailed to the cross
12. Jesus dies on the cross
13. Jesus is taken down from the cross (Deposition or Lamentation)
14. Jesus is laid in the tomb.
The Stations of the Cross, as the devotion is called will stop still at 3 pm, believed to be the time, when Jesus died or the moment of grace to pray for the intentions and the theme.
The route: The Live Way of The Cross starts from Golibar and will continue through Shivaji Nagar, Yashwant Nagar, Vakola pipeline, P & T colony, military camp, Kalina village, Koliveri village, Sundar Nagar, CST Road, Mathurdas Colony, Vakola Cross and end at St Charles Convent.
