The 2022 Good Friday Procession of the Cross continued a tradition of 25 years or more in Bluffton. On Friday, April 15, people of all ages gathered to carry and process with the cross from church to church in the village.

The cross, which weighs some 200 pounds, was created by a parishioner of the English Evangelical Lutheran Church from the beams of a barn. At each of the six churches visited by the procession, the bearers put down the cross and clergy from one or more churches lead those present in prayer.
