This past Sunday, Holy Land USA put on a live Stations of the Cross event, and now Holy Land USA has just announced that they are hosting another very unique event on Easter Sunday, March 9, 2023. (By the way, thank you for the share Holy Land USA)

Father Jim Sullivan of Waterbury's Basilica of the Immaculate Conception will celebrate a mountaintop Easter Sunday Mass at Holy Land USA at sunrise. The gates to Holy Land will open up early at 5AM, and there will be members of the Knights of Columbus there to assist you. Parking for the event will be available on-site, and comfortable shoes and a chair are suggested.

Mass will begin at 6:15AM, and sunrise will be at 6:20AM. Us early risers will be treated to an incredible view on a very inspirational day. If you've never been to Holy Land USA before, please GPS 60 Slocum Street in Waterbury, that will get you right into the parking lot.

I choose to look at Holy Land's giant illuminated cross with hope and inspiration, I grew up listening to the memories of my relatives who were able to enjoy it when it was a national tourist attraction. I think this is a wonderful, unique opportunity to remember them. If you've never been, here's a video from YouTube that was uploaded by Fleabitten Adventures -
