The Stations of the Cross were observed in ancient and modern ways on Good Friday 2018 in Morristown.
Members of St. Margaret of Scotland Church led their annual re-enactment of Jesus’ march to crucifixion. Speedwell Avenue stood in for the Via Dolorosa.

Jesus was a radical voice for change in his turbulent times. The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer tapped that side of the story by visiting downtown sites, reading Biblical passages, and challenging the nation to choose love over bigotry, injustice, violence and assault weapons.
Stops included the office of Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-11th Dist.), who supported a bill to make it easier for people to carry concealed weapons across state lines.
On the Green, at statues of Washington, Hamilton and Lafayette, church members asserted that the Founding Fathers never contemplated the devastating firepower of AR-15s when adopting the Second Amendment.
At the Civil War monument, Redeemer members lamented “the rise of white supremacy, the militarization of the police, [and] increases of all types of hate crimes–especially anti-Muslim violence, inhumane treatment of immigrants, and reversing of Civil and LBGTQ rights.”
In front of the Patriot’s Farewell statue, they honored patriots who have defended our freedom, while deploring games and movies they feel desensitize Americans by normalizing and glorifying violence.
Happy Easter, everyone.

As the caption states, this was the cover photo from the church program for the event.
That photo is not yours. I saw the exact one posted at a march for our lives event before Good Friday. Makes me wonder if there even were protesters at this event or are you trying to make a story out of nothing.
