This year, 2021, Good Friday morning saw the launch of a new tradition. An actual wooden cross was lifted up and carried to specific locations in almost all the towns along Highway 26. Starting in Meota the cross was transported by car to the next community. It was carried around Vawn, Edam, Mervin, Turtleford, Spruce Lake and St. Walburg. It was intended to go all the way to Loon Lake and Goodsoil, but seven out of nine towns was all that was possible given the time available and the distances. This event was non-denominational and followed all the provincial guidelines for Covid.
