Charleston Cross

This was taken on a street in Charleston, South Carolina, one year ago.  He was walking with a purpose.  I really wanted to talk to him.

Have a happy Easter if you celebrate it.

I guess he will be out on the walk this year too:)
GOD PÅSKE / HAPPY EASTER!

Was he going to join a religious procession, I wonder I suppose it was Good Friday. I have always been fascinated by the Penitentes in the Southwest, but now the practice seems to have been practiced and/or spread to many different areas.

Happy Easter or Passover to you and to your friends and loved ones!

PS. With his beard I wonder also if he had the role of Jesus?!

What a capture, Jack!

Christ is probably thinking, "Why didn't I or one of my disciples think of putting wheels on the cross?"

The invention of the wheel...

I would have told him to let it go, someone needs the wood.

I've never really understood the theology of this kind of thing...people walk across the country hauling a cross. I can't see what that accomplishes, except for a very sore back and worn out shoes! :-)

For a split second I thought he had blood on the tee-shirt and thought nope, that can't be... Happy Easter to you and yours Jack!

Don't think the original had wheels or a shoulder pad. That misses the spirit somehow. Great picture, however.

The wheels made me smile - but sensible I guess. Our local churches had a march of witness on Good Friday but what with decorating and a heavy cold I gave it all a miss this year.

Sharon said...

I would have wanted to talk to him too! Nice capture.

Carrying his cross with the help of wheels! Happy Easter Jack.

Valerie said...

A very symbolic capture Jack - wheels and shoulder pad aside. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a blessed Easter.

Michelle said...

At least it has wheels.

Janet said...

This cross doesn't look too difficult to bear! Hope you had a happy Easter.

I like the idea of a cross on wheels. This gave me a laugh! :)

Now that's a sight you would only see at Easter, and maybe even then not so often. Great capture Jack. Hope you had a wonderful Easter also.

The wheels totally make this picture for me. Terrific find. Quick reaction on your part to grab your camera and shoot.
