Christians walk the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, April 14, in San Juan Tlihuaca, a neighborhood north of downtown Mexico City. This tradition recalls Jesus’ journey to the Crucifixion. The encapuchados, or the hooded, who wear long robes and tall, pointed hoods, or capuchas, represent the people who pointed out Jesus to the Romans but didn’t show their faces, says Gilberto González, coordinator of the encapuchados group.
