Thousands of devotees take part in processions held in various localities when the statues of the Redeemer and Our Lady of Sorrows are carried.
Considering the persecutions and atrocities in war-torn countries around the world, particularly in Syria (above), I suggest that the Church authorities will urge the faithful to offer their prayers during these processions to the sufferings of those worse hit in these conflicts and for everlasting peace and family reunions in the respective regions.
