TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A reminder of the meaning of ‘Good Friday’ and the Easter weekend was seen by drivers along a busy road in Longview.
Three groups were carrying crosses along highway 80, depicting the walk of Christ to his crucifixion.
“The reason for this season is Jesus. It’s not about Easter eggs and candy,” said cross carrier David Bellinger.
For the 15th year, Bellinger, a Longview native, enacted the walk dragging his 80 pound cross several miles. Complete with a crown of thorns.
