For Good Friday, the Catholic community in Paris has congregated around Notre Dame to perform the 'Way of the Cross' recounting Christ's passion.
To commemorate Good Friday, the Catholic community in Paris perform the "Way of the Cross" ritual, which recounts Christ's passion, around the Notre Dame Cathedral, after a fire ravaged the famed gothic structure earlier this week.
The Way of the Cross refers to a series of images depicting Jesus on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers.
Often, a series of 14 images are arranged in a numbered order along a path and people go from image to image, in order, stopping at each station to say a prayer.
