Holy week celebration Stations of the Cross will be held in Buenos Aires on Good Friday, March 29th 2013, on Avenida de Mayo.
The parade will begin at 8.30pm at Plaza Lorea (Ave. de Mayo & Luis Sáenz Peña), proceed down Avenida de Mayo and end at 10pm at the Cathedral in Plaza de Mayo, where a special, traditional Easter altar has been set up.
´Good Love Christ´, a 1.8m wood carving made by Spanish artist Luis Alvarez Duarte will lead the procession, followed by a float with the image of Virgin Dolorosa (made by indigenous peoples in 1780). Both will be accompanied by a choir and musicians.
The parade will take place on Friday even if it rains, and throughout the walk actors will represent the 14 Stations of the Cross. It is estimated that 20,000 candles will be given to the crowd for free!
