(Chicago)—At midnight on Good Friday, April 18, 2014, a nine-day prayer vigil will commence in Daley Plaza to honor the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ.

The Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based national public interest law firm, joins private citizens to sponsor "Jesus in Daley Plaza" for the 8th year.

A 19-foot tall cross and a 10-foot tall image of the resurrected Jesus will be displayed as an expression of faith by private citizens in the Daley Plaza public forum.

An Interdenominational Easter Sunrise Service will be held on Sunday, April 20, at 6 a.m. (Central), featuring prayers and music. Daley Plaza is located in downtown Chicago, at 50 West Washington, between Clark and Dearborn.
