Description	Good Friday, Tome Hill, 1977. Edwin Berry, resident of Adelino, pictured with drum, conducted and celebrated the stations of the cross pageant as worshippers ascended up the Tome Hill to the site of the three crosses. The tradition originally started as a passion play in Tome plaza in 1948 and later evolved into a procession and ascent up the Tome Hill. From the Valencia County Historical Society: "Since 1975 the Good Friday celebration on El Cerro has been held annually." From Rio Abajo Heritage, VCHS, 1985, Tibo Chavez Jr., author, "Edwin A. Berry was largely responsible for reviving the Good Friday procession to the top of Tome Hill. It was revived as a special part of the 1976 bicentennial celebration. In 1948, Berry erected the crosses on top of El Cerro, revewing the old penitente cross which had always been there. On Good Friday, the penitentes lead the public procession to the top of the Cerro de Tome, observing the stations of the cross along the way."
