First Christian Church Alexandria/Pineville will lead Walk for Justice the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, April 18, 2025. The walk will begin at 6 pm at the Holocaust Memorial (4th & Elliott St.) and end at City Hall in downtown Alexandria. People from any congregation -- or those who belong to no congregation at all -- are welcome to join the walk.
This year’s event updates the original walk created in 2021. It combines the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) passion for justice with the centuries old Holy Week devotion. The walk re-imagines each of the traditional Stations of the Cross in the streets of downtown Alexandria and connects them to the most vulnerable members of the Central Louisiana community, those who may be discouraged, in pain, ridiculed or feel abandoned. It remembers Jesus’ experience of all of these emotions on his way to the cross and his compassion for those who endure the same today.
