Thousands of Hands: “Anyone along the journey can carry the cross. It is passed from one person to another over the course of the 11 miles. The wood is worn smooth, and as I carried the cross, I was struck by the image of the hundreds of people who have gone before me, the thousands of hands that have carried this cross. It weighed heavy on my arms, but not long after I picked it up, the next person was there, ready for their turn. And so, I imagine it will be for decades to come – the many who walk after me, generously sharing the cross, too heavy for just one to carry.” – Katherine DeGreef (’13)
