MEDINA – Matt Caldwell and his wife Rebecca carry the cross in the Canal Basin as part of today’s “Cross Walk” on Good Friday. The Cross Walk has been an annual tradition in Medina and is organized by the Medina Area Association of Churches and the Medina Clergy Fellowship.
The Cross Walk began at City Hall and then about 60 people proceeded to several stops in the downtown area, Canal Basin and on West Avenue. At each stop, the group read a passage from the Bible and sang a hymn.
Mike Zaidel, a leader at Alabama Full Gospel Fellowship, carries the cross down the sidewalk on Main Street. They group was headed to Rotary Park.
