Utica church members carry a cross along Cayuga Street in observance of Good Friday, the day Christians mark the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ ahead of the resurrection on Easter Sunday. Leading the group, from left, are Dale Yates; Lane Dotson, 17, the son of Douglas and Melissa Dotson; and the Rev. Brad Hartzog of Utica Christian Church. Hartzog’s church and two others, Utica United Methodist and Utica Baptist, began the 1-mile endeavor they called Walk of the Cross at the Sunflower grocery on Cayuga and ended it at the Methodist church on Main Street.
