Gathered on the steps of the Old Capitol, members from the social justice group Pax Christi and the Tallahassee Citizens Against Death Penalty remember Christ’s last walk before his execution on what is now recognized as Good Friday.

The two groups have joined together to honor each station of Christ’s journey and to make a connection between the execution of Death Row inmates and Jesus Christ.

Sheila Meehan is the Chair of the Tallahassee Citizens Against Death Penalty group.

“I’m hoping for other people whom may have attended for the first time and for the people who are in politics who do have the opportunity to make changes in law they’ll see the connection that I saw perhaps for the first time today between an execution of Jesus and death penalty that we give to our citizens.”
