If you are driving to Chimayo in northern New Mexico on Good Friday you will see hundreds walking alongside the highway, some carrying crosses on their shoulders and backs. I have seen this several times as I lived in the area for nine years. Thousands Trek To New Mexico Chapel On Good Friday : NPR

This is its history. Apparently it was revived after WWII by New Mexican survivors of the Bataan Death March in The Philippines and their families. The Long Journey of the Pilgrim Child
