Spreading the Word on Good Friday

Drivers honked their horns, passengers waved and a few

people stopped their morning commute to talk to the man who was carrying the

cross on Good Friday.

Calvin Norris, who was dressed in symbolic purple robes, was

dragging a cross alongside Watson Boulevard Friday morning.

“I’m telling people about Jesus,” he said passionately,

after a curious driver in front of Moe’s on Watson stopped him to ask what was

going on. Norris then told him the story of Jesus.

Norris, who is a member of Trinity United Methodist Church,

explained that he has been walking with the cross for four years.

“Last year, it rained. So I got a little wet,” he joked, but

he explained that he continued his walk because of the message it showed the

people driving by. “It’s what you see.”

Before he continued his walk on Good Friday, he stated,

“I’ll do it until the day I die, I guess.”
