Staines Good Friday Procession

Staines, Middx. Fri 30 Mar 2018


 People gathered in the foyer of the Methodist Chirch as it was raining outside

 The event began with a short explanation

 which was folled by prayer

 The Salvation Army Band was beginning to arive

 and others went out to join them

 

 A man wheels a cross ahead of the band

 

 

 

 Watched by the sculptural figues carrying a roll of lino - though they never did it like this in the lino works which closed around 1970

 

 The band had been left well behind by the time the man wheeling the cross reached the road leading to the Two Rivers shops

 You can see the raindrops in front of the dark coats worn by the band

 They turn into Norris Rd past the mosaic pavement in the High St

 Followed by a crowd, many carrying umbrellas

 

 and march towards the Two Rivers shopping centre

 

 

 Where a statue of two dancers has hands which conveniently hold the cross

 and people gather around, singing as the band play the first hymn

 

 

 

 

 A prayer

 

 

 

 And a Bible reading
