More than 75 people took part in an annual walk through Burnham-On-Sea to mark Good Friday.

Residents from local churches around the Burnham and Highbridge area met at Our Lady and The English Martyrs Church in Highbridge Road and then headed along Marine Drive and the seafront, finishing at St. Andrew’s Church.

The annual ‘Walk of Witness’ is held every Good Friday – a day of deep significance to Christians around the world.

During the walk, a cross was carried, and 14 stops to mark the stations of the cross were made along the way for readings of a passage of the scripture story, commemorating Jesus’ last days on earth.

100 hot cross buns, with an explanation, were also handed out free to passers-by.
At the end of the walk, participants enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Church, including tea and hot cross buns.
