Sydney, Australia, Jun 22, 2008 / 13:49 pm
Alfio Stuto and Maria Dixon, the actors who will play Jesus and Mary in World Youth Day 2008’s Stations of the Cross, on Friday climbed the Sydney Harbor Bridge with BridgeClimb Sydney to observe the route of the Stations from a “bird’s-eye view.”
BridgeClimb Sydney, an official provider for World Youth Day 2008, is a business that provides public access to the catwalks and ladders of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, according to its website.
“The Sydney Harbour Bridge provides a great vantage point to witness the Stations of the Cross and other World Youth Day events as they happen around Sydney’s harbour,” said BridgeClimb’s Managing Director Todd Coates.
The two actors were joined on the bridge climb by the young Sydney priest and World Youth Day spokesman Father Mark Podesta. Both actors for the event have been rehearsing with 100 fellow cast members over the past few months.
