Procession with the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows |
We honor today the Sorrowful Mother as she stands by the cross waiting for her Son to die, His body to be placed on her lap soon afterwards. An image that has been painted, sculpted and drawn by many artists. Many countries honor the Sorrowful Mother (Mater Dolorosa) on this Friday before Holy Week, as seen in this procession held in Malta in the city of Valletta. thousands of people accompany the procession, also attending Mass and going to confession on a day of atonement and repentance.
