Thousands of people gather in Times Square for a eucharistic procession in New York City, May 27, 2023. In what many are calling the largest Eucharistic procession ever held in New York City, thousands of people took to the streets reciting prayers and singing songs of praise on the vigil of Pentecost, May 27.
The NYPD estimated more than 4,000 people took to the streets and processed through Times Square, led by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Espaillat of the Archdiocese of New York.Photojournalist Jeffrey Bruno, who happened to be in the city for another assignment and stumbled upon the procession thanks to an Instagram post, said: “I have never seen anything like that before, especially in New York.”
One particularly moving moment Bruno captured was the crowded street, lined by the skyscrapers of Times Square, filled with the faithful kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament as it was being lifted high into the air. Fr Shane Johnson, administrator of St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, said: “To me, the number of people was secondary to the amount of real authentic faith that was so evident in those who were present. It was astonishing.
“These moments of kneeling on the asphalt in the middle of a city street with our arms raised to God remind us of who we are as His children and how this city really does belong entirely to Him,” he added.
