Praying the steps

We have heard about all the people who make it a tradition to "pray the steps" at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church in Mt. Adams on Good Friday. This is a tradition which has been taking place for the last 150 years. We were off from school on Good Friday and thought we'd join in....well, we got there around 11:00, found a parking spot right off (which we thought was a good sign), walked around the corner and saw the line of people. We waited in line untl 1:30 and had only moved about 50 yards. It was very hot and the girls had consumed all their water. It was time to go- We'll try again next year...going much much earlier.














The Hillavator which sits at Hill Street in Mt. Adams. Mt. Adams is one of 5 Mountains, which Cincinnati sits....these Funiculars helped people get their groceries from the street level to the top of hill, which their residence was located. The girls wanted to ride it, but I was a bit leary. Maybe next time....

Dad and I would ride this with you. They have them in Pittsburgh but we couldn't figure out where to go to ride it.
