Praying the Steps
alt text
At 12:01 A.M. each year on Good Friday in Cincinnati, Ohio people begin to gather at the base of the steps leading up to Holy Cross-Immaculata Church, preparing to take part in the tradition known locally as “Praying the Steps.”
The parish welcomes the pilgrims, usually eight to ten thousand in number, by providing coffee and donuts in the Parish Center and an afternoon and evening fish fry for those coming later in the day.

Here in New Mexico people regularly make pilgrimages to Sanctuario Chimayo in the northern part of the state, some from over a hundred miles away. And yes, many people crawl at least part of the way.
