Parishes in the Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods of Chicago participate in the living Way of the Cross, or Via Crucis, on Good Friday. Since 1977, parishioners from predominantly Mexican Catholic churches around Pilsen have organized the Via Crucis every year to commemorate the suffering, crucifixion and death of Christ.
