Stations of the Cross and Passion Play Draw Odessa Faithful
On Good Friday the Stations of the Cross with seven stations and a St. Mary’s Passion Play drew crowds in Odessa. Volunteers and actors from St. Mary’s and the Catholic Churches of South Odessa re-enacted scenes from the Passion, with teenagers like Victor Fierro Jr. and Rachelle Arzadon portraying Jesus and Mary. The event accompanied a crosswalk led by the Odessa Ministerial Alliance and featured a live crucifixion scene before about 250 spectators.

Fire Crews Contain Wildcat and Rock House Fires in Texas
Firefight units including Cannon Group and Frying Pan Ranch crews reported the Rock House fire near Coke County fully contained along with the Cannon Group incident in Andrews County. Wildcat fire reached 75 percent containment, burning 155000 acres, with Norvell noting ongoing patrols for hot spots. Odessa crews saw limited action as West Odessa volunteers responded to a grass fire near Interstate 20 mile marker 91, about 27 miles west of Odessa. The Odessa Fire Department tackled a storage shed blaze at 1306 Castle Road with no injuries and ongoing investigation. In North Texas, residents begin rebuilding after a weeklong wildfire burned about 150 square miles across three counties, with containment at a quarter and some neighborhoods reopened for eight hours to inspect damage. Sheriff Ira Mercer of Palo Pinto described the scene near a blackened field as smoke lingered and winds scattered ashes.
