Way of the Cross in downtown Cape to be held Friday

On Friday, local residents will celebrate Good Friday by symbolically retracing the steps of Christ before the crucifixion.

Each year hundreds of people gather in downtown Cape Girardeau to watch the progress of a wooden cross as it's carried by various people along the streets of downtown Cape Girardeau.

This year's Way of the Cross begins at 12:15 p.m. at Old St. Vincent's Church.
