We recall that the crosses were built back in 2001 and donated by Eagle Pass High School CC Winn Campus and elaborated by the students in Hassen Moses' welding classes to be used especially for this event each year.
The part of Jesus was played by Abraham Martinez and the part of Mary was played by Yajaira Ibañez along with other members of the Sacred Heart Church Youth Group.
