EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a powerful display of faith and devotion as Gordon Simpson carries a towering 7ft wooden cross during the traditional Procession of Witness. The image transports us back to the vibrant town of South Shields on Good Friday, April 17th, 1987. The photograph captures the essence of Easter in the 1980s, highlighting the enduring religious customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations. As part of this ancient service, Christians gather to commemorate Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. Gordon Simpson stands tall amidst a sea of believers, his determination evident in every step he takes with the heavy burden upon his shoulders. His commitment to carrying such an imposing symbol is both awe-inspiring and humbling. This act serves as a poignant reminder for all who witness it - a visual representation of sacrifice and redemption. This snapshot encapsulates not only Christianity but also the spirit of community that thrives during religious processions. It reminds us that these events are not merely rituals; they are opportunities for individuals to come together in shared beliefs and values. As we delve into our collective past through this remarkable print by NCJ Archive, let us reflect on how these age-old traditions continue to shape our present-day celebrations while honoring their historical significance.
