Holy Thursday Churches
It’s a Catholic tradition to visit 7 churches on the night of Holy Thursday. I just learned about this. I couldn’t get to 7. I saw 3 plus the one I went to for mass.
Some churches are open till midnight for visitors. I fear staying out that late in Chicago with the crime.

During Lent on Fridays, I’ve been going to Stations of the Cross at different churches. For the first three weeks I went to local churches that didn’t broadcast their stations. today it was raining pretty badly so I decided to watch this YouTube broadcast from St. John Cantius in Chicago.
In case you don’t know, Catholics have a tradition during Lent of a ceremony that re-enacts Jesus last hours. These Stations of the Cross feature 14 events from when Jesus was condemned to death through his placement in a tomb.

I liked this short video explaining the history and rationale for fasting.
