As Christians recalled the final days of Jesus’ life before His death and resurrection, locals in Ville Platte and Mamou retraced His final steps. On Holy Thursday, April 17, the senior class of Sacred Heart High School again held a live presentation of the Lord’s Passion by going through the Stations of the Cross. In the top left photo, William Jorden (right) plays Jesus as the students depicts Christ’s entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Then, the following day, on Good Friday, the annual citywide Walks with Christ were held in Mamou and Ville Platte. In the bottom left photo, participants genuflect during the walk in Mamou. In the right photo, Seth Rider (left) and Jesse Johnson (right) carry the cross as the walk in Ville Platte passes in front of the Evangeline Parish Courthouse.
