PHOTOS: 50 people join special walk in Burnham-On-Sea to mark Good Friday

-

More than 50 people took part in a special walk through Burnham-On-Sea to mark Good Friday.

Residents from local churches around the Burnham and Highbridge area met at St. Andrew’s Church for a service and then headed along the seafront and Marine Drive, finishing at Our Lady and The English Martyrs Church in Highbridge Road.

The annual ‘Walk of Witness’ is held every Good Friday – a day of deep significance to Christians all over the world.

During the walk, a cross was carried, and 14 stops were made along the way for readings and prayers to mark the stations of the cross.

Different Christian denominations from the Burnham area were represented at the walk which took on a blustery, showery morning.

Reverend Rob Howlett of Burnham Baptist Church led this year’s walk and thanked all those who had supported it. The event finished at the Catholic Church, where refreshments were served.
