We are today in the parish of Zebbuġ following a long, colorful, and spectacular procession. The first statue shows Christ after the flogging, and eventually being shown by Pontius Pilate to the people with the words ‘Ecce Homo,’ (Behold the Man,) while the second statue shows Jesus meeting Veronica, leaving an imprint of his bloody face on a cloth she offered to wipe his face. The next photo shows a variety of Biblical characters parading solemnly through the streets of the local town. Then we see Roman soldiers on their horses, and even a chariot led by 2 horses. The last photo is the statue of Jesus in one of the scenes as he continues his road to Calvary embracing his cross. Tomorrow we’ll end this 5-day series by seeing some other statues from various other parishes which hold this procession on Good Friday.
