“One of the most moving, spiritual experiences… a three-dimensional, living and breathing human representation of the passion of Jesus Christ”

The Living Stations of the Cross was one of the most moving, spiritual experiences I have ever had.  For the first time the reality, suffering, and emotions that certainly occurred that day on Calvary were brought to life as we moved along the streets near our church. The depiction of the final hours of Jesus’ life have never been more poignant, more real, more painfully sad, and, ultimately, more redeeming and hope-giving.

Tony Lopresti and his troupe of mostly amateur actors drew from deeply seated faith and a commitment to serve their fellow parishioners to create a unique connection to our religious heritage. 

Tony’s vision and spiritually-inspired creativity took the familiar depiction of the stations of the cross from paintings, stained glass, and statues, to a three-dimensional, living and breathing human representation of the passion of Jesus Christ.

I was not sure what to expect that Good Friday afternoon, but I can assure you I will never forget the experience.  Now weeks after the presentation of Christ’s passion on the streets of New York, I am filled with great emotion and gratitude to be closer to my faith and Savior.
