Catholic Cemeteries in Louisville will be hosting the Way of the Cross for Young Christians every Friday during Lent. This solemn tradition, which involves following a path that represents the final journey of Jesus Christ, will take place at one of four cemeteries in the city.

The stations will commence at 1 p.m. and cover a distance of 300-400 yards. This allows participants to reflect on the various stages of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. It is a meaningful and introspective experience for those observing the Lenten season.
