Description
Catholics in Nicaragua celebrate the Way of the Cross by marching near churches since the government banned traditional street processions two years ago. "For Nicaraguans, I ask for faith," says faithful Fatima Leyton as she marches on her knees praying for her husband's recovery from cancer.
The Holy Week celebrations took place amid tensions between the Catholic Church and Daniel Ortega's government after the arrest of some 20 priests during the Christmas and New Year vacations, who were released January 14 and sent to Rome following an agreement with the Vatican. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
