Stations of the Cross returns to Latin America's largest favela | Video

Caracas, Apr 15 (EFE).- Some 600 people in the Caracas neighbourhood of Petare, considered the largest favela in Latin America, accompanied on Friday the traditional staging of the Stations of the Cross by residents and religious leaders after two years of a pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The crowds were smaller than in previous years, when some 2,000 people watched the performance organized by the Church of Our Lady of Fatima, and few residents complied with the measure of wearing masks.

They toured various areas of the steep neighbourhood while accompanying Jesus and his captors on the painful journey that played out the Passion of Christ. (Camera: JACKDWIN SÁEZ).
