March of Witness 2024

Hundreds of Christians joined together on a sometimes rainy Good Friday morning for the annual ‘March of Witness’ through Trowbridge to mark the most momentous event in history, when Jesus died and rose again. The march finished in glorious sunshine which was a bit of a metaphor for the whole event. Starting from St. James Church, the crowd stopped at 5 different points through the town centre to pray, sing and re-tell the story of Easter. The Salvation Army band provided excellent music for the singing. Marchers gave out Easter eggs and cards to passers-by to bless and encourage our town. The march finished at the war memorial where refreshments were provided by the Girl Guiding Association and hot cross buns were munched (kindly provided by Asda’s). ‘Church Action Trowbridge Area’ (CATA) organised the march, and their Chair, David Ross, said ‘It was great to see so many people join together on a day when Christians round the world stop, pause and reflect on the fact that Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. We’re here together to say thank you to God and to acknowledge his goodness to us all.’
