A devotee being helped up in one of the 14 stations of The Cross during the morning rites of Via Crucis, or The Way of The Cross. Most of the devotees perform these morning rites for personal penance and self atonement, during The Passion of Christ reenactment on Good Friday. This image was shot in San Pedro, Pampanga in the Phillipines. I took this image on 18th April 2014 when I went to Pampanga to photograph this festival.
